Yeah I can see that. If I had to come up with reasons (based on my own opinions of the cars)
- People want to believe they're rally drivers
- It's a small revvy sporty looking, uncomfortable, Japanese car. Perfect for "ricing"
- A sporty looking, relatively low priced V6, more popular with teens than adults.
- It's an expensive car for people who trust the car over their own skill to keep them safe and out of accidents.
- Cheap car for teens(?)
- Gotta go with a combination of number 2 and number 5
- It's a muscle car for guys who have given up. "I wanted a 2 door muscle car like a Camaro, Challenger or Mustang... But my wife wouldn't let me." Every so often their ambition peeks out and eclipses their abilities and it pushes insurance for the car up across the board. :p
- I've never known a Z owner who didn't believe they were God's gift to everyone and their car was God on wheels.
- A low priced, semi-sporty car popular with teens?
- No clue
Once again, my (fairly jaded) opinions only. So probably
completely way off base. :p
