I don't think I'd be too interested in a woman who was attracted to me because of the car I drive.
I tend to gravitate toward small cars with adequate power and good suspensions and braking at reasonable prices (under $20k) or huge old Detroit Tunaboats like my late lamented '69 Cadillac El Dorado.
Cache (or less euphemistically snob appeal) plays no part in my choice of automobile. I've seen too many examples of fine European engineering traded in at the Toyota dealership I work for with problems the average Toyota/Honda/Nissan owner would be horrified at. I'm not willing to put up with the nightmares involved in owning and maintaining an out-of-warranty Ultimate Driving Machine.
That Camry was an abberation-my only boring generic mid-size sedan and my only lease. It was an appliance, and an excellent one at that.
