Default Is The Mustang A Kids Car?

just told a buddy of mine that i was seriously considering a new 2008 Mustang. Torch Red is the likely color. he just gave me a stupid look, laughed, shook his head, and said i would look reallygood driving around town in a kids car.

any truth to this? is the Mustang a younger mans car? i am 49 going on 21 the way i see it.

Mike

If you like the Mustang, go for it. No offense, Ive seen older people driving Verts and GT's of the 2005+ models. Its really just what you prefer. If you feel it looks kiddish too then you always have room to improve with a Mustang

Well I'm 46 & loving my current Stang (02 GT vert) & it's my 4th mustang

Maybe if you buy a bright yellow one with big black stripes that "might" be considered a kids/youths car to look at lol kinds depends on what they guy you were talking to meant

Opinions will be opinions. Considering the car was originally marketed to the younger market, he could have some bearing. Im 20 and consider Vettes an old mans car, but id hop in one in a second if i was given the chance. I also consider crown vics to be old people cars, but its turning into a young "gangstas" car slowly. Be whatever the opinion is, drive the car not for its outward appearence, butfor the car is what you find pleasing.

That is the first time I have ever heard of them being called a kids car... I honestly dont think they are. You see men and women of all ages driving them. Also, I dont think a rear wheel drive, 300 HP car is exactly a kids car...

Your friend sounds like a jealous douche. Just kidding, but not really. Get the red stang and enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

No, of course not, I think it's just like any other car, everyone drives one, it just depends on what you like. I like mustangs and even eclipses even though they're foreign. I see people of all ages driving them around.
