What Does Your "Date Car" Say To A Woman? Finally, We Unlock The Truth

It's likely been an age-old dilemma: What a guy finds cool, a woman does not. This typically doesn't bode well, particularly on the dating scene.

Imagine, you want to pick up your date in something that will impress them but you don't want to overdo it so you wind up going to Per Se and forking over $800 for dinner. Additionally, you don't exactly know this person from a hole in the wall, so you're left with absolutely NO idea of this person's ideals.

So, what would make a PERFECT date car?

Although I don't think such a thing exists -- primarily because each woman is unique and you'd have to appeal to the individual character -- AutoWeek decided to do a little experiment. Essentially, it took a male staff member and had him pick his top date cars and had a female staffer weigh in.

Here at AutoWeek, we've seen plenty of top 10 lists for date cars over the past few years. They all seem to have one thing in common: They're written by male bloggers whose most recent date was with a two-liter of Mountain Dew and a PlayStation 3.

Since we have both men and women on our editorial staff, we decided to get a read on the subject of date cars from an actual representative sample of the dating pool. After the dust settled, here's what associate editor Jake Lingeman picked to impress his dates, and fellow associate editor Julie Alvin told us what those cars say to the ladies...

This one smelled like a 'ooR post from a mile off! In *MY* opinion, I "say" more about myself than my car ever could, without even saying a word! The way I conduct myself. The way I treat my date, and others. The way I think.

Frankly, I have no interest in a woman who gives a rip about the car I drive, how fat my wallet it, the size of my house, or if I hang at the trendy clubs... not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just not where I'm at, at this point in my life.

Comedian Bill Cosby once said, "I don't know the secret to happiness, but the secret to unhappiness is trying to please everyone." And this includes being concerned about what others think of me. Or what the car I drive tells my date.

Cheers! :-)

@lambo...

We're an auto site that likes to inject some fun. What's wrong with that?

No need to be all holier-than-thou and quoting Bill Cosby for cryin' out loud.

At least I'll give Steve this much credit. He had wise thoughts that most commenters seem to lack.
