W see different typical drivers here:


Optioned up 4 door pickups - pretty much every middle class or up white family has one.



Tricked out WRX middle aged white guy dressed like a pimp or a skinny white male under 24 years.



Audi - this is the official DB car around here. These are the guys and gals cutting in front of anyone they can, forcing their way into a line after skipping ahead on the shulder, etc.



Dodge Charger SRT - middle class soccer moms.



Cadillac or Porsche CUV or SUV - upper class soccer moms.


Super raised high stack diesel trucks blasting out black smoke - hicks visiting front he south. Local southern hick wannabes - both typically chewing tobacco and spitting out the window dramatically every few seconds.



Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator - these are pretty much everywhere and driven by all sorts of people mostly 30 - 60. Pastel colors (pink yellow, light green) usually driven by women, dark colors *snazzberry, Black, Dark Blue Grey) typically by men. Gladiator often substitutes for the big 4 door pickup.



Mustang - older soccer moms who want to show that they are still hip and cool.



Miata - hairdressers and a few roadster aficionados.



Harley - accountants, engineers, doctors and lawyers (who else can afford one?)


Corvette - empty nest white guys in their 50s and 60s. Often recently divorced and hanging out at bowling alleys trying to pick up younger big hair chicks.



Worn out rusty sedans and CUVs - everyone else.

Seems like the OP should get out of Texas once in awhile and see the rest of the country. None of this applies to where I live. I own a Lexus RX as does one of my neighbors and you're 100% wrong about both of us. One neighbor has a Subaru and you're wrong about her as well. Her husband has a pickup and trust me there's nothing redneck about him and he doesn't have a beard.

He should not be preoccupied with his toy while driving

Japanese cars like Toyota and Honda are reliable and affordable for middle class Asian females.
Asian men would prefer a BMW,Mercedes if they can afford it.
Quality is important to them,and they dont know enough / dont like getting their hands dirty fixing their cars.
It’s not just Asian women , but women in general are not car savvy.
I would say it’s particular of Asian men not wanting to fix their cars, it’s most men and add to that the complexity of those brands.

Different here. Very few of those stereotypes fit here.
Chargers are mostly owned by black males.
Corvettes all age range from 21 to 70. If modified tend to be younger.

Enough of the sweeping generalizations about select groups of people. This thread is now closed.
