Cars for old people

Why doesn't anyone make cars specifically targeted for older drivers? For example, even the Cadillacs (the cars most associated with senior citizens) don't match up: The buttons in the interior are tiny. The writing on the dashboard is too small for old people to read. The car is difficult for your aunt Rhonda who has had a hip replacement to get in and out of. And so on..

Toyota is making cars for young people (those boxy, ugly cars that can fit your snowboard, ski's, two kegs of beer and thirty five empty bags of rubbish from trips to McDonald's), but no one has hit on the older generation yet. And, those people have money and they're itching to spend it. As my 93 year-old step-grandfather says, "I don't buy no green bananas."
