Jaqueline Mitchell wrote in Forbes earlier this month about what your car says to the opposite sex. This is exactly the type of article I won’t normally read because it just speaks to how shallow the whole idea is. Whatever Mitchell says in it might apply to some people - those who have money and can actually buy the car they want. But what about the average person? I know from long experience, and from talking to both car sales people and car enthusiasts, that most people buy a car for any of the following reasons:
- The salesperson suggested.
- A family member suggested it.
- It was on sale.
- It was there in the lot and the salesperson offered some extras at no cost.
- It was functional.
- They had a car of the same model before. (See all of the above.)
- Insert custom reason here.
On the other hand, if you have money, you’ll buy the car you want. And then and only then will nonsensical, shallow articles like Mitchell’s have any relevance. Personally, I prefer Bardiac’s humorous explanation of what your car says about you.






























well, i think that there aren’t too many that buy a car for those reasons. Maybe people that are in lack of ideas would think like that but when it comes to me… i only buy a car i want, a car that would match my expectations.
