Slightly more subtle but equally pertinent guesses can be made about someone's choice to follow a certain car brand, for example; Saab=architect, BMW=flash Harry, Ford=everyman, Vauxhall=family conscious, Jaguar=executive, Toyota=Tokyo drift racing, drum and bass loving, tech-savvy cyber criminal (maybe that's just me), Ferrari=rich asshole, Fiat=cheap, Daihatsu=er, must be a reason? etc. This kind of thinking also extends within each brand to a model level, with a hierarchy established and core values identified to a particular buyer through the manufacturer's own marketing strategies. So a car says a lot about your place in social consciousness and it costs you a lot of money - so when the car manufacturer's take their eye off the ball in taking there lovely shiny creations to market - particularly into a new country, it can have highly amusing results and can make the blissfully unaware owner look just a bit silly. I assure you that this list of car names is 100% genuine.
