Well I am a college grad, male, and have an SSE. But those demographics are for new buyers like Silverbullet said. I can say that I have seen more younger (18-25 roughly) people driving Bonnes than older, but those are usually Bonnes anywhere from '92-98ish, so they were used and fortunately depreciated. But they are definitely not "granny" cars as the jealous a$$ rice burners say. I have yet to see one 70-80+ person driving one here.

Nope, not even close (though I'd take that median income! ), and I'm one of those "new" buyers (sort-of...used. but only 2 years old when we bought it).
age: not 45...25
income: not $95,000...way less than half that!
not male...well me anyway ; Lictalon counts
married...well, okay, that fits
not a graduate (me anyway...my honey is)
not a professional (me again...he is)
So I guess I don't fit, but my hubby does...funny, 'cause I was the one who wanted it first. :P

thats right on the mark!
We get our bonnies in very gently used condition from our uncle, who gets them new on a lease. He probably fits all of those demographics, except for the $ one (hes a lawyer). Feels sorta eerie, but at least we know their advertising works...

19 year old college student just out of his first year? Hahahaha, man it would be nice if pontiac started promoting bonnevilles and made them more public. When was the last time you saw a bonneville commercial?? **** its one of GMs faster cars, and yes it'* a little large, but its not a crown vic. Then again, if they were well known, it wouldn't be a sleeper, and it could get as stupid as the Ricer movement... Which was a little neat at first, but they need to understand TORQUE IS LIFE!
