Hey, I resemble that remark!

[Admin]

Long may they continue to make comment like that!

Keeps prices of the cars down nicely

[RonaldMcBurger]

Well, having recently celerated being over the hill, you would say that old timer!

[STMO123]

A sweeping generalisation, as usual. Even if omegas are generally considered 'old mans cars', I doubt that a VXR or sporty astra would be. Anyway, who cares what others think.  

[rhydV6]

Lol at some of those comments! Not being funny but am I the youngest on here then owning a V6 Omega? I'm 23 by the way!

[RonaldMcBurger]

No, sorry mate. I am only 18.

[Gwilym]

I think that over the years, large luxury cars have always been associated with "older" men that are reasonably high earners and probably with a large house and kids that were growing up. Generally the costs involved in buying, running and insuring such cars were fairly prohibitive to the less fortunate. Younger high earners would probably go for sportier type cars as it's likely they wouldn't yet have their own families and went for the image.

These days when most working people earn a much better wage it's not so much of a problem to run a large luxury car, but the stigma remains.

Just my honest opinion

[Auto Addict]

Well, I'm an old man, and I've got one, so there 8-)

[nixoro]

Well I'm a youngster and although people have said its an old mans car I dont care thats there opinion, and I like my car.
