I dated a guy in high school (yes, I know, this was a million years ago) who drove a Honda CrX, which I thought was cute and really loved it. Then he upgraded to an Acura something, but it had been totaled, he was working to fix it, so my door didn't open from the inside. He had to walk around and open my door every single time.

Yes, I judged him ... for the better for being able to DO and FIX stuff. He was absolutely the wrong person for me, but a sweet sweet guy.

No, thank you. I prefer Fiat 500.


I’m a lady who drives an Escalade and a sports car, too. Hardly a T supporter. A guy who has one car and it’s a small car is a total turn off. At least at my age (40). And yes, men pick up for dates, still.

I assume the ladies replying that big cars are a turn off are much younger. My generation of women, hands down, likes a car that has some rumble and lots of power.


Are you currently dating at 40?


Not really since I’m married. But I speak from the experience of friends and what I look at - because I’m not blind!

Speak for yourself. An Escalade is the absolute epitome of mindless, egotistical anti-environmentalism. And I’m a 42 year old woman.


That's how I feel about the Sasquatch-like carbon footprint of every woman with "loves to travel" in their dating profile.

OhK. Obviously I am speaking for me and countless others whom I know. The bigger the engine...the better we will get along.

I suppose it depends on some women, but I'm wondering how many woman immediately think less of the guy by thinking he's one of those overcompensating types, etc.



Likely a douche. Likely a Republican. Probably voted for Trump. LOL

If a woman looks down on the kind of car I drive and refuses any further dates, that makes me very happy because that's the kind of wretched human being I want filtered out as quickly as possible.

I've dated 2 men who drove trucks. The first didn't need a truck, it was RED, and I broke up with him after 3 months. The 2nd used it for work, still does, it's got his name on the door (his company). I'll be with him forever.

I judge women by what they drive. Your Fiat tells me everything I need to know. Wouldn't go near you.
I second that. Wouldn't go near that type of woman.

Well I am in sales and travel a lot for work (outside of work) Going to a Tesla put an extra 1k -1300 in my pocket a month. Not my preferred choice of car but the economics
made sense.
Also in sales and seriously considering a Tesla. I frequently drive 200 miles a day. Not sure how it would come off to the customers but that's a small consideration.

Well I paid cash for my Escalade. A new fully loaded grand Cherokee and Tahoe are more than X5 as well as a lot of the Mercedes SUVs, and not much cheaper than an Escalade so your stereo types don’t add up.


Yes, but an Escalade or the German status SUVs are purchased by people who place a lot of value in what strangers think about them.


The other poster made the comment that people driving those cars are “probably living above their means”. Not they place value in what strangers think about them. I am PP that said paid cash for my Escalade. I could care less what other people thing about my car, I like the car, it meets my needs.
