...what are her favorite car brands, are. I challenge you to guess them. END POLL. The correct answers were Honda and Mini.

Hint: there are two, and none of them is American.

Did she reply with actual brands? Because I know people who think certain models are actually brands.

Yeah, however I needed a few seconds to realize she was talking about Honda, not Hyundai. Had to ask if the H was in bold or italic fonts.

Camaro and Mustang, at least before Chevrolet started selling it down here, are another two for that list. Oh yeah, and Fusca (the Brazilian name of the VW Beetle) too.

Yes, but Patrick Frawley said Honda, 2 minutes earlier than you.

Girls like tiny, cutesy cars.

Dude, weren't cougars attracted by shiny, premium, German coupes?

Mercedes Streeter > El Relámpago(LZone) - Humanity First! 02/21/2014 at 16:21

Shiny - Check.

Premium - Only in the excessively expensive "Brabus Tailor Made" trim.

German - Does being engineered by Mercedes count? :)

Of course! Don't think that I was being serious, hence my use of a ":)" in that comment.

No sadly, my car really attracts AARP members more than any real cougars...

Thats at least slightly correct in some cases...and much better than people that think colors and body styles of cars are "brands"...how some people even get out of bed in the morning without incurring serious injury/death is beyond me

One time at an old job, one of the guys we worked with came to me and asked, "You're a car guy, right?" (always afraid to answer that question, sometimes)

He then told me that his girlfriend was at the dealer test driving cars at some open house, and was pissed because she didn't need a new car. (ah, marketing at it's best)

He then asked me that she test drove and really liked the Honda Electra, and wanted to know if it was a good car.

Shocking , isn't it?

I really felt bad telling the guy that the car his girlfriend was driving didn't exist. I quizzed him for a few minutes. "Civic?" "Electra as in Hybrid? Is is the Insight?"

He had no idea, and he felt pretty silly afterwards.

About an hour later, I shouted out "AH HA!" when I figured out what it was, and immediately told him what car he was asking about.

Want to take a guess what car she was test driving?

Insight? Sounds the closest, I guess.

She was at the Hyundai dealership. It was an Elantra.
