Your Date Drives What?! Part I

Cars.com interns Lindsay Bjerregaard and Alex Braun took to Chicago’s streets to find out what your car says about you to a potential date. The two questioned men and women on the street to find out what the other half thinks. Above is the video reaction of men to a variety of cars — including a VW Jetta, Porsche Boxster and even a Ford truck — and what they would think if their date pulled up in one. Ladies, if you’re offended, don’t worry; when we interviewed the women of Chicago, they dished it out as good or better. We’ll bring you that video tomorrow. As always, let us know what you would have said in the comments.

Guess the public buys all the sterotypes. Boy were those guys down on the taurus. Alot of guys drive taurus too but I guess not in chicago. Scaried now what the guys or girls would say about my 94 intrepid. But most people here aren't asked the real question of what car can they really afford not an image question. Wait for a recession, baby. My other question is why only a couple fords, two vws, and a porsche boxster.

Probably because those cars are common. Also, all stereotypes are based in a little bit of truth, some more truth than others. I know the reaction to the Ford F-250 was probably a struggle for those guys. Knowing many women who drive them out in Missouri (back home for me), I can say the with the exception of "yuppie," all the responses to the VW Beetle would be true for F-250 girls. In addition to horses.

Yes, there are the horses..... ungrateful, crap-on-everything and suck-me-dry-of-money freaking horses.....

Come on, you guys have to work harder than that. You couldn't get one person to say Trixie when asking about the VW?

I kind of wonder why didn't they put a camry or accord on their, because they're very common cars, i want to know what girls think when I pull up in my new Camry. Or the Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300C, or even the Mustang!!.

Yeah if a girl pulled up in a brand new Porsche Boxter I'd say, "nice,,,, is it her money or her daddy's?"

But if she pulled up in a 1978 RS, and had to move her tool kit for me to hop in? "Ohhh Momma!"
