Yeah, remember, the average age (or was it median age) for the Scion brand is 35 according to whoever it is that does those polls. That means there's plenty of older drivers out there with the cars.

Personally, I'm 17. I'll celebrate that for the 12th time in June!

The very first xB that we sold last June was to an 89-year old woman.

I think that may take it.

62, but not a grandpa, at least not yet. I've had the box for 14 months and have over 12K miles on it. Love the car!

I just became a proud grandpa at the ripe old age of 52.

Well, I'm a late bloomer, 40 year old with a 3 year old and a 8 month old. I wish I would have had kids about 20 years ago.......lol. Good thing my wife is 10 years younger than I am.

xKEITH760x Thanks for the compliment. This is a nice friendly thread. I have two kids, and 9 grandkids. I only had three in the car at a time when the oldest 3 came out for a long visit. To gather interest in the xB in the summer of 04, I gave out $.50 to each for each one they spotted before my wife or I spotted it. They killed me when my wife was not with me to help spot. I mean, I still have to drive. It was a great game and they enjoyed it. They also got $.25 for Hummers and Minis, them being the xB's Dad and Mom. My personallized license plate frame says so.

You both have it wrong, As I said before the correct quote is "Your only as old as the women you feel"

I live in a large retirement community in Florida, or by one I should say. A lot of retired folks traded in their SUV's and minivans on xB's when gas prices shot up. The local Scion dealer told me they outsell xB's to older folks than they do to younger people.

I'm 32, but haven't bought one... yet.

I'm 35 and got a XB for my wife last Saturday.
Went today and got one for my son.
Great car for the money.
