I can say being a car/truck guy that kids like the smaller, newer cars because they can afford them. As kids we all ran what we found, which was likely v8 A bodies are Mustangs etc. Today is not much different.
My biggest issue is that I want the kids to do something. If is working over a Honda so be it, just get greasy. Most are curious, and with some mentorship they can become the next generation of car people.
As a shop teacher, I work on my cars with my kids at school. My wife drives a Honda Civic. It is dead stock and gets the kids looking and asking questions.
When I bring in the Duster they are all fascinated. They think it is real old and cool.
As far as at the track goes, my home track is some distance away in Washington. They have a Friday night Import/Mopar event almost weekly. I would say it is close to 50/50. Lots of Mopars there in the Valley.
