Its been a little while since we have done this so lets see how OPPO sits Demographically. Alpine for your time.

Before we start. This information is not being tracked for any purpose other than the heck of it. It is completely voluntary and anonymous (unless of course you add your own comments at the bottom, then we can all see what you said and who said it).

So lets start with some basics.

Age, Sex, and Daily Driver type (this is a car site after all):

Age:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Sex:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Daily Driver:

Lets see what your primary daily driver is.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Being that this is a car site, lets look at your car history.

How many vehicles have you (personally) owned, past and present? Vehicles will constitute as any register-able road legal vehicle and / or purpose built race vehicle (sorry, your riding lawn mower does not count).

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What types of vehicles have you owned? (for example, Mr.TheEngineer has owned 1 economy car, 3 sports cars, 2 luxury cars, 3 vintage motorcycles, 1 modern motorcycle, 2 trucks, 1 SUV, 1 vintage car, and 1 exotic car; so I would select each of those boxes.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

How are your cars (current and past) powered?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What kind of transmissions do your cars have? (current and past)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

How many forward gears do your cars have? For example One of my trucks had a 3 speed manual, My S4 had a 7 speed sequential, so my low is 3 my high is 7.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And finally, lets talk about location:

What continent do you live on?

Thanks for playing.

A 1996 Saab 9000, Luxury or economy?

Saab was generally considered more of a luxury brand as they attempted to compete with BMW and Mercedes.

I put sports car because my I30 is a rebadged Maxima, which is *the* 4-door sports car :)

A sports car with some luxury and prestige added.

Here in Norway it was more a economy brand, kinda like Opel :P That’s why I asked :)

I checked Electric (plug in) and Hybrid Electric because with the Volt it depends... ;) Just to mess with your results really. Plus other gas. Also classic diesel (old VW rabbit which did not have a urea system)

I think you need more car categories. For example, where would you put a wagon like a Subaru Legacy or VW Passat? Or a sedan like a Camry or Fusion?

CKeffer > CAR_IS_MI
09/21/2015 at 16:09

So my DD is a Focus ST...not sure if it falls under sports car or economy car since it’s a performance variant of an economy car, but gets way too shitty of gas mileage to be considered an economy car anymore.

09/21/2015 at 16:09

If you bought it well used, it didn’t cost you much, therefore economy. If it was a new/newer car purchase then luxury!

So, my crap Volvo 940 I paid $1300 for is economy for sure. But then again, if I bought a $1300 Town Car I would probably say luxury.

Dusty Ventures > CAR_IS_MI
09/21/2015 at 16:12

Even if you're talking about something like the Legacy GT?

Not everything is better with a manual. I prefer my landbarges with column shift autos

cletus44 aka Clayton Seams > CKeffer
09/21/2015 at 16:21

Last I checked, a FWD economy car that sucks gas was still a FWD economy car. Though they are fun, a sports car it is not

CAR_IS_MI > Master Cylinder
09/21/2015 at 16:22

Porsche what? 944 would be more vintage depending on the year, otherwise, sports car.

Dusty Ventures > CAR_IS_MI
09/21/2015 at 16:23

But with the higher price tag (>$35k) and the lower fuel mileage I wouldn't call it economy either

RallyWrench > traderQAMobileTestAutomationMobileBoostOn

You can vote for more than one, so I had auto and manual. I’m sure that accounts for some of them.

My Mercury Milan doesn’t really fit, it’s in that weird Entry Level Luxury or Mid-level.

Because it’s not a Lincoln I selected Economy.

09/21/2015 at 16:45

I guess my Crown Vic is luxury, I wouldn’t consider it economy but I don’t think of it as a luxury car, then again there is the towncar version.

Gamecat235 > Dusty Ventures
09/21/2015 at 16:46

You heard it here first. A Legacy GT Spec B is either an economy or luxury car.

Vintage mundane sportscar.

CKeffer > Converse
09/21/2015 at 16:50

This was my imediate thought. Honestly I’d have the “hot-hatch” segment as being seperate from economy and sportscars since there is a legitimate argument to be made for them not fitting in to either segment.

Gamecat235 > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams
09/21/2015 at 16:50

Integra Type R? Civic Type R? STi? Evo? VW R32? Not to turn this post into that thread, but, are you sure? Also, Focus RS, Escort Cossies and Ford Racing Puma’s... and for the sake of truly being contrarian and completist, the Lotus Elan M100 (FWD!).

Is my Mazdaspeed 3 a sports car or an economy car? Also, no aspiration question...=(

Maybe add “hoon-edition” category, like the SVT Contour, SHO Taurus, SRT-4 Neon, Impala SS, Integra Type R, Mazdaspeed 3, etc etc.
