Our taste in things change as we grow and this is no different for cars. During the early years of having a driver's license one would be the hot blooded racer wannabe who would yearn for the most bang for your buck car you can get your hands on. This would likely be something that was fast and raw. At that age you wouldn't be too bothered about comfort, the aim was to go fast.
Then came the next phase of life when you can afford better cars and would upgrade from a Japanese turbo charged car to possibly a European sports saloon. After this you are married the next car would likely be a SUV and possibly a MPV to lug around the more than necessary baby strollers and etc.
Once that is done the matured racer is back with a sporty German saloon or a uprated SUV with some serious muscle. For those who mellowed tremendously during the family era would probably end up with a Lexus or some luxobarge that will be super comfortable but boring as hell to drive.
Looking back from the time you were in your teens and to the time you hit your 50s, the change in taste of cars vary tremendously. During the teenage years one wouldn't be bothered with a car like a Bentley not would he want one as it carries a much more matured image while a man in his 50s would love the Bentley and would cringe at the thought of driving a Subaru WRX.
The evolution of one's taste in cars is very interesting as each phase in life has a big influence on how one thinks about the car he drives. Many would learn the lessons associated with ownership of different types of cars and also how much money one would need to spend to keep up with their interest in cars.
Some cars just cannot shake their image of being say a boy racer car or a gentleman's car. Typically you can say that cars like a Subaru WRX is a boy racer car while a Bentley continental or an Aston Martin is a gentleman's car.
