Hi All
The other day I was approached by a female in her early thirtys who enquired "is that your car?......Very nice! She went on.... I had one of those ...a black one. I took it back because every other one I saw was being driven by old men. I traded it in for a Mini.... Lost ?5K on the trade in. The salesman said it was the first time anyone had brought one back for that reason" I was probably as speechless as the salesman.
Is it a female thing as the logic of this story escapes me..... or are we really all old men?

She sounds weird to me - was she chatting you up or telling you that you were getting old ?
A volvo V70 - is an old mans car (in fact all volvo's really) - as is the mercedes e-class.
But not the e60.

I'm 27, is that old?
Volvos I can understand being described as an old mans car (I used to get it all the time when I had one) but the E60 - definately not an old mans car

The reason that the e60 is driven by older men (IN THE UK) - is that it costs a bit to run - and demographically older men are the main group that can afford it.
Younger chaps and ladies tend to go for smaller cars - hot hatches if they can afford them - cause they have less baggage and children to cart about.
She sounds weird to me - was she chatting you up or telling you that you were getting old ?
