Tim, you might want to edit your poll a little. I know that I'm special and I deserve two categories, but that's really not necessary; you should make the one 36-49 instead of 35. Or the other way, but I'd prefer to be in the younger group. Thanks.

Young, I like your latest avatar. But, isn't the star rotated so it's pointing "down" instead of "up"?

heh, normally, i don't like to use the mb logo as the avatar. so i rotated the star part so that it is the letter "Y"
(note that "mercedes benz" is still right side up)
i'm going to change it tonight to something else.

I'm in the same boat with tommy. er, an earlier boat, but I can straddle the 35-50 and the 50+ boats. I'd start over, without overlaps.

I also think you will get muddy results if you ask this question of ALL C-Class owners. If your intent is to understand who buys the Coupe and who buys the Sedan, then I think you should have two separate polls, one for Coupe one for Sedan. (sure, I know you really just want to know about Coupe owners... I wasn't born yesterday.)

Not trying to throw rocks, but this has been tried before and I'm not sure any useful conclusions could be drawn from that attempt because it was too broad in scope. Make sense?

Kwik - scary as it may seem, to MB, that IS young.

Isn't the average age of buyers somewhere around 51-54?

So, the coupe is bringing it down somewhat, but not much with the relative #s of new purchases. It's a splash of middle age in a sea of old farts. :p

I didn't see the "female 50+" with any hits yet, so I guess that you're not voting?

Yes, that was a little too mean. Sorry!

But if you're going to look like Judy Jetson, you'd better be younger than I, otherwise it'll be false advertising.

Well if you follow that logic, I would hate to see what JamE55 looks like.

Does the lack of women in the poll mean that only us men know a good car when we see one or that women dont waste their time in forums like this? I wonder what the real world numbers are!

What a funny poll. Love how you overlapped the ages. Lol. Seriously thou, I think this is very interesting to see what age group C Class owners are. I've personally noticed that people of all ages drive the C Class.

Personally, I rather like the broad bracket for men 35 - 50. Lately I've been included in demographics I can't relate to, so it's flattering to be placed with youngsters once again. Thanks Timmy!
