The more accurate LB vs Sedan Poll

[b_hickman11]

Find your age group and then tell us if you drive a Sedan or LB. If you have more than 1 of the same model, vote for that selection and then tell us your age. If you have both, your votes would cancel themselves out anyways.

[TheRealEnth]

-sigh- wheres the poll

[Sodium Duck]

Indeed.

[b_hickman11]

2 Sedans-26 years old

[TheRealEnth]

wooot... but i think you have to add... both liftback and sedan owners... there has to be some

[Sodium Duck]

Yay!

[cleong]

Actually one of the moderators could just pull up the data off the user lists compared with their age in their profile. The large sample size would give a fairly accurate representation of which age group is buying what.

[vios7]

voted!..

23-30 - sedan :headbang:

I was thinking about that... but its so much more community-oriented this way =p

[Franck_Qc]

46 years old - 5 doors LB

[SilverBack]

27 with LB, but feeling 21 ATT:biggrin:

[jambo101]

60 and have 08 sedan plus 01 Echo sedan.

[SIPNGAS]

still not sure why it matters.

[Bob_VT]

still not sure why it matters.

yup..... sigh.......:smile:

[Sodium Duck]

So we can further segregate ourselves like the rest of society?

*shrug* I think it's just fun to know, who knows what others will do with this.

[Jack Reacher]

I'm 36 and I drive a sedan. The only reason I have a Yaris is because of the price,quality, and mpg. oh, and the roominess.

[SIPNGAS]

So far, it seems those of us 31 and over with LBs are outnumbering the younger ones with LBs..and that does what to the theory? Or is that those of us who are OLD have nothing better to do on a weekend than to be on the computers we don't know how to use?

[jclo3313]

39 in 14 day's you wipersnapers.

[SIPNGAS]

Aren't you too old to be on the computer?

[Stargate YARlantIS]

agreed...

28 LB

[jclo3313]

Aren't you too old to be on the computer?

Uhhhh, leave me alone please. I'm very fragile.

[SIPNGAS]

Uhhhh, leave me alone please. I'm very fragile.


Right. :rolleyes:

[jclo3313]

Like an ox!

We are still missing at least 50 LB voters from the other poll. Wonder where they are going to fall....

[SIPNGAS]

no idea

[Jack Reacher]

Does the LB have more room than the sedan? My dealer told me it had slightly less so I didnt bother looking at them. When I say room I mean leg and head room not cargo room.

[SIPNGAS]

That's a good question for someone who might have both. Everyone who gets into my LB is surprised it has as much room as it does...

but I've only sat in a Sedan briefly and I wasn't in it to notice if it had more room or not. LOL

[cleong]

I think the outcome of the poll so far shows that the LB is more popular regardless of age group, with the exception of a tie in the 16-22 category.

[SIPNGAS]

So far..

There were more LBs available here than sedans until this model year when it seemed to shift.

[TheSilkySmooth]

I have the trois portal - you say hatchback. My brother says its for better to get the pink nazi in my trunk full of junk:iono:I don know what?? Do you let your brother wash you in the shower? I think its getting 2 2 funny 2 do anymore:tongue: I dont wish to say the age but is like 20 something

[PreciousPups4U]

2 LB here. Bayou Blue Auto and Blazing Blue Manual.

I am 47 (but it's only a number, right?) and husband is 39.

[Snyprwlf47]

LB Why would anybody buy a four or five door?

[Sodium Duck]

The 5 door is really cool. People buy them for all sorts of reasons. No need to get all uppity about it... lol

[CTScott]

Does the LB have more room than the sedan? My dealer told me it had slightly less so I didnt bother looking at them. When I say room I mean leg and head room not cargo room.

I own a 5 door LB. I had a sedan as a rental car, for a week on a business trip. To me, it felt nearly identical.

[*MAD DOG*]

Yup, this thread is heaps different to the other Sedan vs LB thread. NOT!

[eric81]

They make a Sedan? Does the president know? Some one get him on the phone, stat! Just kidding... he already knew. Ha-ha-ha.... A LB owner and lover. In a clean brotherly like way. And not a prison type of brother. A monistary type kind. Ummmmmm........ Liftbacks rule!

[eric81]

PS- Silky smooth is HILARIOUS! Three cheers for her!

[Jack Reacher]

LB Why would anybody buy a four or five door?

Because maybe a two door doesn't fill their needs properly. I have a family and a two door ain't gonna cut it. If I had to haul larger items around I'd opt for a different model that let seats fold flat. See what I mean? :burnrubber:

[gonzo452001]

53 2-LB

[drbilal]

Yup, this thread is heaps different to the other Sedan vs LB thread. NOT!

Lol agreed. I just made the other thread to simply see lb vs sedan, this is over done imo.

[cleong]

Well it served to confirm that more people have LBs than Sedans, regardless of age group.

[TheRealEnth]

thats correct, LB took all age category's so far.

[1stToyota]

Lol agreed. I just made the other thread to simply see lb vs sedan, this is over done imo.

Yeah, sort of shot down the big theory.

[eric81]

If you have a family, you would opt for something that was in a 4 door and had a slightly larger power plant in the engine compartment. Like thee Corolla or the Camry. My wife bought the Scion xB the same time I bought my Yaris LB (both are 08 models) and she loves the room in the xB, and the 2.4L engine is REALLY nice for hauling around families of 4. Someone who needs the room has far more options at the dealership than just Yaris... like any of the Scion group, or any of the other Toyota cars. If you are going for small and quick, or just cheap, than the Yaris is number one on the list to buy. Especially with 28 and 36 MPG ratings. (My car gets 42 to 44 average, personally.) So it all depends on what you need. I bet if you did a better poll, to include those who had Yaris in their list of choices at the dealership, the Sedan would be far more than the LB in the average. Just my two cents. Did I confuse anyone? I get lost in my own ramblings sometimes, so sorry if it is a little confusing.

[TheRealEnth]

why is someone always trying to disprove that lb is more popular. Family or not. Young or old. modder or not. The LB is just more popular

[TheSilkySmooth]

PS- Silky smooth is HILARIOUS! Three cheers for her!
What do you mean this "hillaryious"? I dont Like her!:thumbdown: Voting Nooo for Hillary as Secretary of State. Why do the girls have to become a secretary? They should be like prime minister and not used just for some cheap job that blows:respekt: I am not afraid and get very dirty and work on the car, I am no desk job

[tetzyamis]

I have 2 LB.
Age is 30.5.
Right at the line between 23-30 and 31-40 :biggrin:

This poll is interesting.
LB:Sedan ratio is about the same through out the age groups...

[KCALB SIRAY]

Didn't anyone do their homwork...Obama and McCain talked about change's on this and change's on that....oh wait, wrong thread

[eric81]

I wasn't trying to disprove it is more popular, I just think that these numbers may not be as accurate as they could be.

OH... and she said "Job that blows." That is funny too. Anybody else get it? You are still cool. I am not putting you down, and if it sounds like it, I am sorry. I think females have the same rights as males. Honestly. A hardened female is way better than some of those soft guys around here, and everywhere else for that matter. Drive On!

[RagnaCaT]

Wow great poll :thumbdown: Where's the BOTH section?:mad: BOTH FTW!

[id3379]

1 sedan - 19 years old

[b_hickman11]

I'm wondering what the ratio is just in the USA? Anyone have these numbers yet? I wish all of the LB owners who voted on the other poll would vote on this one. Still missing about 20. Of course the total # of votes is still way less than the total # of users on this site. So until the numbers go up, my poll is inaccurate.

[Jem_hadar]

27 - 5DR Hatchback

Your post makes my brain hurt!! Wow.

[eric81]

Yeah, I thin I like her. She's cool. Yeah.

[DerKaiZeRs]

You are right to a certain extent that until the numbers go up, your poll is inaccurate, as the greater the sampling population the more reliable your data.

However, the nature of a poll makes for an unpredictable and constantly increasing sampling population. You have no way of ensuring equal sampling population unless you asked, say, 50 people and got 50 replies in both polls.

Otherwise the results of this current poll can still be valid.

Here's why:

You have no way of ensuring that the same people who voted in the initial poll would vote on this poll
You also have no way of knowing if the people who voted on this poll voted in the original poll.
The chances of the remaining 20 missing persons skewing the poll results are fairly remote.
I am too lazy to run up my statistical analysis program, but the numbers show a significant difference that clearly indicate a greater number of LB than sedans.


However, we should remember that this is just a representation of Yarisworld's population demographics.

We can infer from the results that more Yarisworlders own liftbacks than sedans.

One reason could be that LB owners are more interested in their cars (and the resulting community). Sedan owners could simply only be interested to use the car, and not keen at all to find out more about it, or modify it, much less talk about it online. Sure, there could be the exceptions but those are few.

The other reason is that there could simply be fewer sedans made than LBs, which could be a possibility. There are no sedans some markets like Australia/New Zealand or Europe.
