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

[Anonymous]

I don’t think there is one. The land rover is pretty cool, but it depends on color. White is a mom color.

Definitely not a Jeep.

What ever it is, it has to have a manual transmission or else your “hot dad” is a big sissy. If he can’t drive a stick, he needs his “manly man card” taken away.

Minivan screams virility.

+1. This or a Rivian. Everyone knows sports cars are compensating.

Ehhh . Some truth. My husband adores the fact that I know how to drive a stick shift.

We also taught both of kids how to. We also have an old manual weekend car.

Its a low key fun flex.

Ridiculous. Most people of a certain age learned on a stick shift. You're just showing your age.

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.

I mean OP’s husband may actually be hot in which case the hot car will add to it. YMMV

Yuck. No. If hot dad car means hot, then the old stand bys - BMW, Range Rover, Land Cruiser, old pick up.

I love driving stick, but they are impossible to find. The worst is the paddle shifters on automatics.

GX 550, definitely. Also the Defender. Some Rivian SUVs. At least in my neighborhood.
(Hot mom cars in my neighborhood are G Wagon, Range Rover, with plenty of X7s for those in need of the 3rd row and/or little kids who can't get into a G Wagon, and even a couple of Bentley SUVs.)

No guys that I have seen are driving the Cayenne. Some wives, but not many. I've only seen older guys driving the more expensive Porches.

Porsche, Lotus, Corvette, BMW or Audi.
