As a fellow Gen Xer, I have a different take:
1) why in the hell would I let past iterations affect my lust for this new one? Seriously, sexy is as sexy does.
2) Us DINKs don't have to worry about this. (Dual income no kids)
3) well, duh. But as #2 pints out, no kids mean more money for toys.
4) Says who? "Flash" is just as egoic as a disaffected, flannel-wearing, hipster doofus. I prefer to have my ego light up tires and growl!
5) I've dropped my generation's penchant for cynicism. I'm GLAD they're trying to woo me, for I have been wooed.
