My husband wants to know “what’s the quintessential hot dad car?”

[Anonymous]

We are ready to purchase a second car - our first second car! And we keep going back and forth on type, brand, and price. I was joking about the quintessential hot mom car and he said to ask DCUM what the hot dad car version.

Let me know DCUM (and hoping it’s not Porsche because we can’t afford that lol!)

McLaren.

They don't exist. Any giant SUV looks pathetic by definition. Then you get into which sleek sports car drives better and looks good. In terms of "car hotness", I have a weakness for Lotus, personally, but in my neighborhood I see a lot of Porsches and a few Ferraris.

But if I were in the market for a middle class family car, I would get a Japanese model known for reliability and easy maintenance - Toyota, Honda or possibly some types of Lexus.

Finally, if your husband wants to look hot coming out of his dashing Rav 4, he needs to be muscly and debonair

Obviously Aston Martin.

Tricked out minivan. Movie players. Seperate climate areas. Fancy door technology etc

Hot dad car = rugged, expensive, and not trying to impress anyone.

The Lexus GX 550 is basically the blueprint right now… boxy, capable, quietly rich.

Same lane, depending on your flavor:
* Land Rover Defender - a little hotter, a little riskier
* Toyota Land Cruiser - insider, understated flex
* Ineos Grenadier - niche, very “I disappear to Wyoming”
* BMW X7 - polished, country club version
* Mercedes-Benz G-Class - loud, but somehow still works

GX is still the sweet spot: looks like you could go off-grid, but also have your finances extremely together.

But when a balding, pot-bellied male lurches out of the vehicle...

Get yourself together. The car is immaterial.

Older models. All recent cars are ugly.

If you're trying to impress a group of, say, 12 year olds? Maybe a Delorean or another movie car.

It’s a question that has no answer. If he’s not already a hot dad, there’s no car on earth that will make him one.
