I challenge this assumption based on one fact: The Chrysler PT Cruiser and
Ford Mustang have been and continue to be strong sellers. And it isn't just
old people buying them, either.
Boris sez:
Coz youre an old geezer too...:)
I honestly dont know about the Mustang, probably because it is not a cah that
catches my eye, but I love the looks of PT Cruiser (actually I like the HHR
better) and havent seen a young person driving one. Prolly wont either. In
general young peeps hate hatchbacks.
I would compare the E-P1 to the Element. Desinged, developed and marketed with
the young in mind and ended up in the hands of the old geezers...I almost
bought one.
