Girls Like Boys With Fuel Efficient Cars

Girls have always been attracted to the vehicles that guys drive. When I was in high school a guys name and the vehicle he drove were almost always mentioned in the same sentence. The vehicles that were most admired, and envied, were big trucks and souped-up sports cars that guzzled gas.

Things have changed.

A study done by GM in 2008 as part of their Challenge X competition found:

- 88 percent of women say they would rather “chat up” someone who owns the latest fuel efficient car than someone who owns the latest sports car

- 80 percent of American car buyers (male and female) would find a person who has the latest fuel efficient car more interesting to talk to at a party than someone who has the latest sports car.

- 45 percent of 18-43 year olds say it’s a faux pas these days to have a car that isn’t green or environmentally friendly.

Now don’t you feel bad for picking on that guy in high school who drove that geeky looking Chevy Citation?
