Poll : How old are you ?

There have been some reports about the demographics of Japanese Leaf reservation holders. Ofcourse as a society Japan is older compared to US.

Nissan itself says the target demo is someone in mid-40s. Where do you fall ?

Older than that

Others have speculated, and I tend to agree, that cost may be a primary factor that this car isn't appealing to younger folks.

Also, younger people tend to have more active lifestyles, and be single - so possibly no access to a second car for longer excursions?

There are certainly plenty of Twitter and Facebook comments along the lines of "I hope my Daddy buys me one of these" ... so the interest is there.

Does anyone know Prius's demo in US ?

I also found an older survey.

Hybrid drivers are a few years older than the average car buyer—closer to 50 rather than the average age of 40. J.D. Power’s 2007 review of auto industry marketing showed that only 2 percent of hybrid owners are 24 or younger; while 29 percent are between 45 and 54; and 33 percent are 55 and older. The 2007 Scarborough Research pegged the number of age 50+ hybrid drivers at 23 percent.

I'm 33, and female. Another question might be the % of women vs. men.

That would be 50:1 on this forum

Unfortunately there is no way to do a series of questions - that would give much better stats and even cross-tabs.
