Yes they are old people's cars - that's why I'm driving one... What's wrong with being old anyway?  :o

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.

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 ::)
