ilmor Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nice car! Kinda sad though how costs keep going up. $40k is $1500 more than I paid for my Shelby GT w/ 319 HP V8 6 years ago. Hopefully there's enough rich kids / parents to sell a bunch! I read there is now a Fiesta ST in Europe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Why would you assume 'Younger Buyers' means 'Kids'? The true is, its all realtive. I imagine my 39yrs look pretty young from the perdpective of someone in their 60's. It would be more logical to assume that those between ~25 and ~35yrs are the 'Younger Buyers' Shelby is after. At nearly 40 I could be considered a 'Younger Buyer' when you consider that the average age of a GT350 & SuperSnake owner is more than likely over 50 (No, I did not just call GT350 & SS owners old). Jer, anything in Shelby's marketing that states what is considered the 'Younger' demographic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Apparently we're both assuming. When I say "kids" and think "younger buyers", i assumed just that. Young people, not "relatively young". Hell, even i am "relatively young" to some buyeres. I am thinking 16 to 23....young driving years, college years. I thought that Shelby was seeking to drum up some interest in that group. I'm sure Jer will set us straight and you may be correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT93 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 There is a lot of interest by the college crowd, just not the money. A lot of my friends would like to have the new focus (now that they've seen it in person) and use it as a DD, but for that kind of money they could pay off a large portion of student loans and credit card debt. I'm curious what the 'younger crowd' is as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 'Younger Buyers' I qualify for that one No one should take this car lightly. It seems like it was fun to build, and performs up to standards with whats in the car. Its just that price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
