I think "Miami Vice" appealed to every male, regardless of age. For those males who were men, it was obvious: beautiful women, fast cars, and action. For boys like me when "Miami Vice" came out it was strictly the cars, boats, and planes. I have no idea, but boys are simply attracted to machines of all kinds--and the shinier the better.
Don't get me wrong, I knew who Crockett and Tubbs (Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas) were. They were the good guys and I was rooting for them. I may have even had a vague understanding of what they were fighting against, but I did know one thing: Crockett drove a badass car. No, the Ferrari wasn't his, but he needed it to look the part if he was going to take down drug dealers. And boy did he look the part.
