Why do minorities avoid Mustangs?

Apr 19, 2005 12 Replies

I don't know if it's just my observation, but it seems that there are not many "minority" Mustang owners. In my area of North East, it's mostly young white kids or middle-age rednecks (like me). Any reason for this? I still feel that for the $$, Mustangs offer a pretty good deal vs. some tricked out Honda/Mazda/Infinity....

Apples & oranges. A Mustang is nothing like a Honda, Mazda, Infinity, etc.

Without taking offense, I am trying to figure out what minority you are referring to? It almost sounds like you are meaning Asians only. Does "minority" include all minorities?

Clarify please, and then I will help you answer the question.

Here in Tennessee.. "The South"

No segregation whatsoever

Red, white, black, yellow and brown and green. Young and old, wealthy and poor... male and female.

The Mustang bridges all the gaps.

Now older Camaros.. that's a WHOLE nuther story! Can you say Mullet!!

Kate Middle aged, Irish, female

98 Cobra Drop Top

Thank God NOT many mullets up here north of the border......spotted driving older Camaros!!

Brian Middle aged Canadian (half Irish)

73 Z/28 - Original Owner HEY but my son drives a 92 LX 5.0 (must be that 1/4 Irish in him!!)

Don't discount us old-age rednecks, like me.

I may have to move to Tennessee. I've always had a "thing" for green people.

Maybe you should get off of Long Island once in a while. I see plenty of all types here around Philly.

Suits me just fine. When Mustangs were "on top" with lots of groups, the theft rate put them at number #2. I had my Mustangs stolen 4 times. Now that the minorities go after and drive Acuras and Hondas, I feel much safer. And I haven't had a Mustang stolen for five years now.

Heck! Moostangs aren't even in the top 25 for 2003
