What Your Car Says About You

What Your Car Says About You:

Mid-Sized Car: Chevrolet Sedan
The authors of the study found that “mid-sized-car drivers have no distinct travel attitude, personality, lifestyle, mobility, or travel-liking characteristics.” Ouch! Does that mean they’re totally boring? Maybe, or maybe just pragmatic, or maybe they got their cars as a hand-me-down. The owners were more likely to be female and homemakers; they also had higher incomes.
If you’re driving an American-made sedan, you might belong to the group psychographers call “belongers.” That’s those who need to belong to a group, are very nationalistic, and don’t like change. The stereotype of this person is someone who lives in an average town in the Midwest. When not driving a sedan, they may also be in a U.S.-made pickup or station wagon.

This article can't be right.

I have a travel tude'. I have the personality chicks crave. Ditto for lifestyle, mobility, and travel characteristics.

But maybe I should buy a red one !

What car color says
Not only might the type of car you drive say something about you, so does the color. According to a survey done in Great Britain, certain colors indicate certain personalities. Here are some generalities:

• Black: Aggressive personality, rebel
• Silver: Cool, calm, may be a loner
• Green: Reactive
• Yellow: Idealistic
• Blue: Introspective, reflective, and cautious
• Red: Someone who is full of energy and pizzazz
• White: Status seekers, gregarious
• Cream: Contained and controlled

Or it says "this is the car that was a bargain when the last car died and I went looking in the classifieds for a replacement".

Red pickup. Fairly accurate, 'cause I am full of something...

White Honda Crv . Likes to have fun and doesn't give a hoot about the enviroment !( maybe that's only for bigger Suv's )

 

[Khan]

Or it says "this is the car that was a bargain when the last car died and I went looking in the classifieds for a replacement".

It says:
My 18 year old car wore out (no parts available) and I bought the first one I could see out of (I asked the folks for the smallest thing they had on the lot).

The local Chevy folks didn't want my money.

No, that just means you are a loner senior citizen who likes to play undercover cop ! I bet you even have one of those blue lights for it .,

Silver Subaru - "I am gay"

Mine's blue, so not only am I a lesbian, I'm "Introspective, reflective, and cautious".

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yg...ar-of-the-year-is-62-mpg-volkswagen-golf.htmlLittle blue Honda: Introspective, reflective, and cautious, want to lessen my impact on the earth, and have a reliable car.
That probably sums me up pretty well.
Other than the cautious, I like it. But then again environmentalists are by definition cautious, not wanting to despoil the only planet we have.
But they left out frugal. And I probably would have chosen cherry red if they'd had it.

 

[Ronstar]

Silver sports car and a pickup. I must be an adventurous loner that isn't happy with my life.

 

[Payin-the-Toll]

What a load of crap. I drive a mini-van because I can throw a 'load of crap' in it and get from point A to point B with half-way decent mpg's. 90% of the miles on it are me driving it alone. Wife drives a Taurus wagon because we can throw a 'load of crap' in it when we go to see the grand-kids. Never liked black or white vehicles because they showed dirt to easy, but (being a LBYM'er), color has always been the last thing on my list when selecting a vehicle. Poo-poo on you, Yahoo news.

Swagger Wagen

You need to drive the swagger wagen. Then not only would you be able to haul 'a load of crap' but then you'd be hip too !

[rescueme]

I guess I have a split personality, driving a Cadillac (higher-income people) and a Mustang GT convertible (they were more likely to have lower incomes).

Also, the Cadillac is silver-grey (cool, calm, may be a loner) and the Mustang red (full of energy and pizzazz).

What does that mean? For me, the article is bunk ...

 

[W2R]

Toyota Venza - - says, "This person is preparing for an interstate move!" The cargo space is so handy.

V6 - - says, "This person averaged 3600 miles/year for the past 10 years meaning gas mileage is not that relevant."

Magnetic Gray Metallic color - - - says, "This person told the salesman she didn't care about the color as long as it doesn't show dirt".

My 98 Taurus said, Cheap! My slightly used Camry made me 20 years younger, it does have too many doors though.
