Well, the politically correct argument may say that it's what's inside that counts and a man's money or how much he earns/what he drives doesn't matter but science seems to say something entirely different
I never pay attention to guys in pick-up trucks. I just kinda have an idea of what kind of a guy would drive a pick-up truck (that's NOT supposed to be an insult - there is nothing wrong with pick-up trucks or guys who drive them), and I just don't think our personalities would match. There are exceptions though, I am sure.
I don't care what kind of car it is as long as it doesn't stink of cigarettes inside and there's not fast food bags and boxes all over the floorboards. I am interested in cars but only because I grew up around stock car racing due to my dad's job. (I am also half-deaf in one ear due to this...). My first car was a primer gray 69 Camaro with a toggle switch to flip off the brake lights, the mountain boys used it to run shine. By the time I got it it had 140,000 miles on it and had been rebuilt every which way and ran like one high-toned SOB... so talk to me about fast cars with big loud engines but as long as Pops is around let's talk American, we can chat Euro on the side, in hushed tones...
Sorry, got sidetracked. I ALWAYS look at pickup trucks especially if they're dirty because I like to take my dogs to the beach and the lake and places barely accessible by low-profile tire.
If a guy drives an expensive or new car that's fine too, but I want to feel comfortable enough to put my bare feet on the dashboard if we're going on a day trip and if I accidentally spill Diet Coke I don't want him to have an aneurysm. And if the dogs can't go in the car... well, it was nice knowing you.

Its because people place the worth of a person on superficial things and material ownership . Women are often duped into thinking a guy must be great if he drives an expensive car -- sadly it has nothing to do with a persons integrity or character. Theres still alot of Diamond in the rough Guys who drive around in Toyota or Hyundai.

Ten-year, 100,000 mile warranty? A guy is SMART if he drives a Hyundai!

Dont forget Nissan lol
A car is actually not a good way to figure out how much a person is worth unless the car is super expensive $40k+
I know a millionaire who drives a 1996 Chevy Caprice Classic, and another guy who drives a 1991 Ford Escort, My boss he drives a 2007 Toyota Camry LE, all three of these men can afford much better cars but they are modest about what they drive
I have a coworker who just bought a 2010 Camaro, he makes no more money then I do, but he drives a brand new car, and I still have my 2003 Nissan Altima which I bought last year and is not paid off just yet
So depending on the person depends on what they like to drive. Cars are not an indicator of wealth, unless they are super expensive
I drive what I drive because I like it and it's how I choose to spend my money.
If you ever want to meet the poster child for not caring what some stranger thinks about my life choices, look no further.
I had one date that eyeballed a fun car I drive and statee that it's a good thing it wasn't red because that would scream mid-life crisis and that would be a red flag.
Yeah, that comment was a red flag sweetie...go analyze someone else with your checklist dating philosophy and pop psychology. I was nice though, said nothing and never contacted her again after that date.
I have never dated a guy with an expensive car. I don't like show-offs. I like trucks and middle-of-the-road cars. I drive a Honda Pilot because I like it. I don't need to drive something expensive to impress someone.
Let me try to follow your logic (and insult).
So, when I bought a sportscar (giving away a 10 year old station wagon to charity to clear garage space) I did it because I wanted to impress people.
What I SHOULD have done was to care what people might think about my purchase and worry that they might think I'm trying to impress them?
So pretty much you are saying I should make my decisions based upon what other people think....or risk being judged as someone that makes their decisions based upon what others might think. Really wth is up with that?
Well, you see the problem with that assumption is that some of us have a spine and don't give a flying F*CK what others think about what we drive since it's not all about you. We also don't care that people might think we are compensating for our small weenies, having a mid-life crisis or being fiscally irresponsible.
Really, the make my own decisions "go ef yourself" attitude I developed dealing with jackasses in highschool continues to serve me well as I mature and others apparently don't.

Even expensive cars can be leased. BMW for example makes up something like a 1/4 of all leased vehicles in the US because they have pursued that marketing angle.
You can lease a 35k BMW for <400/mo. where the car payment would be 800+ even with a lowish interest rate. The same applies for more expensive vehicles meaning that you can lease a 700series for just over 1k a month. (and that's an expensive vehicle)
