Default Re: Another rumor!!! Maybe not!!

Im 35 and all my friends were saying that the PT was for older people. I worked at a dealership when they were intro'd and all the marketing brochures had the target market between 25 and 40 y/o. But they were in such demand, who could afford to pay near $10K over sticker and thats what was happening. Same effect as on the New Beetle, Mini Cooper, '05 Mustang and now the Camaro and Challenger.

But i do see more people my age and younger grabbing PTs, prolly for the same reason i did: Its a lot of car for the money, and doesnt look like an appliance. But the turbo, manual, and leather interior were the must haves for me.
