$50,000 and 'affordable' should not be used in the same sentence.
There's plenty of "young adults" that work their asses off to get where they are. Not every 20-sum year old is subsidized by Daddy. Take my situation - dual income household, no kids (and no plans for them), no debt, low mortgage payment, disposable income, enjoys the finer things (like an M1) - that can't be that rare, can it? Combined with the silver spoons and "older" enthusiasts, I'd say that's a plenty big enough pool of consumers for this car.

BTW, the group of cars you put forth have never been on any list of mine.
