Makes sense. It is a vehicle in a middle age income, add the continuing Japanese recession and the current hits to the Nikkei exchange and you are left with a segment that favors adults settled into well paying careers. Not super great income earners, but people still doing well in a long time recession.

I am surprised by the 29 and under being 10%. Parents buying them maybe, or perhaps tech stock leftovers?

I'd be curious of a percentage rating Gender in JPN and the US/Canada.

Nice info MC

I know at age 18-22 I wouldn't have been able to afford a 370Z, not to mention in this current economy with fewer banks lending.
Yeah I'm 25, and I got an *** load of bills. I doubt I can fit in a $600/mth car payment...

When I was 22 I was paying $1,100 per 6months for a jetta. now I'm 25 paying $800 for a jetta and a maxima.

Why two cars? Don't get me wrong, I have two, well three but, but damn that is one hell of a monthly payment for vehicles.

It's $800 every 6 months for both cars, so that equates to about $135 per month. I thought this was pretty good.
