Typical owners of different car brands - Page 2

Honda: Newer models are owned by suburban middle class families. Older models are owned by the dangerous, reckless, alcoholic and drug addicted children in said families. These children will generally be seen late at night attempting to break the sound barrier and crashing into little old ladies.

Buick: Little old ladies. Rumor has it that Buicks can actually travel at freeway speeds, but there have been no confirmed reports of any Buick actually doing so.

Pontiac: College girls. These cars are generally adorned with stuffed animals, bead necklaces, and photos covering up important gauges.

Toyota: School teachers and little old ladies. Some suburban middle class families may own a Toyota suv.

VW: Jettas are owned by college girls, Golfs are owned by college boys from suburban middle class families who traded in/obliterated their old Honda. Any other VW you see on the street is a figment of your imagination.

BMW/Audi: A******s. They will use any opportunity possible to cut you off.

Cadillac: Poor A******s. A decreasing number are driven by little old ladies.

Chevrolet (Impala): This is either (A) a rental car or (B) a police officer. Stay far away from either.

Ford (Crown Victoria): This is either (A) a police officer or (B) a taxi. You can tell the difference by hailing it. If 20,000 blinding lights start flashing, it's a police officer. If the driver asks you where you are going, it's a cab.

Ford/Chevy/GMC (Full size windowless vans, ie Econoline, Express, Savannah): These are driven by pedophiles, murderers, and FBI agents.

This list is, of course, facetious.

Incidentally, I had a 1996 Buick Century, and I am a young (white) guy. So I break the stereotype. I only got it because it used to belong to my grandmother(go figure...) and was in very good condition.

Here's how I see certain makes:

Holden:
Cruise: Company car for most people.
Commodore: Depends on condition, age and how many Holden-branded aftermarket parts fitted. Brand new? Most likely middle class family or retired couple. Beaten up? Bogans.

Ford:
Focus: Rental car driven by someone who has no clue where they are going.
Falcon: See Holden Commodore. Beaten up Fairmonts full of Maoris should be avoided.
Ranger: Tradie's ute.

Toyota:
Corolla: Middle class family/company car.
Camry: See above.
Hilux: Farmer. 9 times out of 10, the bloke driving a Hilux is a farmer or someone with a large plot in the country.

Most Suzuki Swifts are driven by old people. Same goes for any Hyundai, Kia or Honda or 20 year old Proton. Most people in anything over $50k are real estate agents or even retired people.
