So I was talking with a buddy about what kind of people drive what cars. This is meant to be ridiculous but whatever- it's supposed to be. Feel free to add your judgmental stereotypes as well. Here is what we came up with:

Chevrolet, black man's ride
Dodge, dirty blue collar
Hyundai, liberal arts type who likely cant even change a tire or air filter, very scared of Dodge
Toyota & Honda, boring, sensible, neutered engineer types
Ford, Fox News worshipper, those with a hate for Chevy is really a codespeak (see above)
BMW 3 series, douchebag
Mercedes C class, post-sorority girl
Subaru, totally gay
Porsche, gay only if it has the exhaust in the center, resembling a big sexy butthole

Ok, enough stupidity from me, now lets see yours!!!!!

Chevy - GOP voter, espouses conservatism while proudly voting for socialism with his wallet.
Dodge - white trash
Hyundai - Practical appliance buyer, forward thinker, and cheapskate.
Toyota - Toyota reliability is reliable, even when it's no longer any more reliable than a Ford.
Honda - Still thinks Honda makes no-frills, honestly-engineered, practical cars that are still sort of fun.
Ford - Ron Paul supporters.
Mercedes - Old people or young people pretending to be old money in their leased Daimler.
BMW - Porcupines on the outside, nuf said.
Audi - The blonde of the automobile world, cares more about form than function
VW - A fool and his money...
Subaru - Lesbians with hairy armpits.
Porsche - A bigger fool and his money (seriously, who pays more for the coupe than the convertible?)

Dodge - the big trucks with the obnoxious grilles are white trash
Subaru - lesbians

Default Some funny stereotypes

Chevy - found on a college campus. Has duct tape on the doors and food crumbs and GOD knows what else ground into the seats. Gets great gas mileage but you spend the savings on more duct tape! Driven by someone who looks like Ashton Kutcher except creepier and has a Pokemon backpack.

Ford - Rental Car. Has a power/weight ratio similar to a combine. Driven by people who shop (and live) at Walmart and look like Mater. Usually has a bunch of stickers on the back bumper. (Each new Ford comes with a complimentary Walmart smock and survival kit...Made in China)

Dodge - Redneck Rider; usually blows out a mushroom cloud of black smoke when it accelerates courtesy of the 7 liter 100 hp engine on every Dodge product. Has truck nuts on the back even if it's a car. If it's a guy driving he's a wifebeater and has a mullet. If it's a gal she works at the local diner and addresses everyone as 'hun'. She might also be a wifebeater and have a mullet.

Mercedes - Imitation German automobile. Seriously, who would buy some Dodge/Mitsubishi grandma car mutation? Guaranteed to fly apart @ 100K miles or 8 years, satisfaction guaranteed. Driven by someone who lives in the hood and buys the thing for $7000 @ 16 years old and with 20 million miles on it and spends an additional $7000 on spinny wheels and window tint and a stereo system guaranteed to blow your neighbors away...literally!!!

Acura - A sports car driven by some punk kid who works at Taco Bell and shops at Gordmans. Usually has a goldplated exhaust pipe that makes a noise that reminds you of a cowfart when it accelerates. Has a huge tailfin and ACURA stickers all over it for extra horsepower.

Honda - BMW wannabe, especially Accords. Driven by someone who tries the tough guy look but is really a sissy. Usually has a Bluetooth and a cell phone glued to their ear and a bunch of glittery crap hanging from the rearview mirror. To own a Honda you should be one of the certified top 10,000 worst drivers on the road!

BMW - Same as Honda driver but actually HAS MONEY!

Toyota - Yuppie mobile. Doesn't come equipped with brakes since many Toyota drivers are slow to begin with. They're so slow they have a negative average speed...sometimes has an American flag sticker on the back bumper LOL.

Nissan - Usually it's some 5' blonde soccer mom who uses her 8000LB Nissan Armada for the grueling task of going to the store and hauling home a bag of salad mix and a gallon of organic milk. Otherwise, it's some 500 lb man stuffed into a Nissan Sentra who has a bunch of McDonalds wrappers in the glove compartment.

Hyundai - Disposable car driven by people who work in a call center, especially the one gal who has pictures of her kids all over the cubicle (oh I especially like the one photo where Junior splats his face into that birthday cake). Explodes at 35000 miles and is better off towed to the dump and then go buy a new one. With the wages most call centers pay, this car is a great deal!

Subaru - Hahahaha...looks like a boot on wheels. Driven by the college professor who rambles on about the scary rightwing ding dongs and teaches some weird course like Underwater-Foreign-Bathroom-Art-Interpretation. Has a Masters in said course and subsides off granola and free range coffee grinds.

Volvo - Wow this just gets wierder. Drives like a city bus and probably gets the gas mileage of one. You have to live in Vermont since this is the only state in which a Volvo is legal. Has a roof rack on top to carry all the crap that Volvo owners usually have (ski equipment, diving equipment, meth lab stuff, etc). Owner looks like a cross between Obama and Palin.

VW - Mass produced German car that realistically should be sold at Walmart. Driver is a metrosexual who lives in New York City or some Blue state place and eats out for sushi every night. Has a huge flower vase in that holder upfront and paints the car in advertising logos to help pay for the car.

Saab - One of the few cars with actual power. Driven by an older married couple who like the idea of a foreign car brand even if they don't know that it's a rebadged Pontiac.

Lexus - Similar to the Toyota driver but older. And even more bat**** crazy.

Fiat - Small garbage can on wheels bought by someone who wants to own Italy's version of Power Wheels. In Italy this can be driven by children in the front lawn since it's like a Power Wheels car and goes the same speed as one on the highway. Owner usually works in a bank and makes a bunch of money. (I know why our banks suck now!)

AMC - Very old car brand. Driven by the manager of an Autozone and he/she/whatever spends all of their time on the weekends fixing the POS so it can drive another week before the POS breaks down...again. Has a bunch of old Red-Green tapes in the back.

Jeep - Vehicle used by recent college grads or college students to run over furry animals on the road. Excellent for making Feline Meatloaf, Poochy Pizza, and Rabbit Burgers!

Just wanted to make fun of it - no hard feelings towards anyone.

I owned a 2009 Subaru Legacy, and though it was a great little car and could drive through snow that was taller than the car itself I got rid of it...one reason being because everyone made fun of me and my Lesbo mobile, lol.

Car brands definitely have stereotypes, but I have found that I am a better judge of who the driver is (female, asian, hispanic, old, etc..) by the way they drive as well as how they have outfitted their car.

My wife and I will be driving and Ill say I bet so and so is driving that car up ahead. SHe says "theres no way you can know that by the way they drive" ....sure enough, we get along side and I get to say "I told you so". She doesnt say anything anymore, and all I say when I pull up to them is "thought so".

Again, no disrespect towards anyone.

Seems like every Mercury I see has a fundamentalist Christian sticker of some kind on the back. At least a fish.
