Personally, I don't like the V's that's just me however, I do notice a large percentage of "older" people in them around here. Again, this is all I have my assumptions based off of but if you think about it the V should appeal to a younger crowd. Too bad many will opt out and get a Camaro for less than the price or a Corvette for nearly equal pricing and better performance. The V is entirely overrated but unique to see on the road. [emoji106]
I'm curious what makes the V "entirely overrated"?

Age doesn't dictate appeal nearly as much as wealth. The V DOES appeal to a younger crowd, but it is the older crowd that has the financial means to make it possible. It's the same with every premium performance car. How many 20 year-olds do you see driving Porsche's, Maserati's, Lamborghini's? Do people not PREFER to drive these cars in their 20's? Of course they do. Give a 16y/o the keys to a SLS and Accord coupe and see which one he drives off in.

Sure a Camaro can be had for FAR less with excellent performance. But the Camaro is not a 4-door, 5 passenger luxury car. It serves a very different purpose. I can fly direct to Paris in economy class, get there the same time as I would if I flew first class and even save a few dollars. But given the choice, I know where I would prefer to sit on a transatlantic flight.
