These are the 6 major personality traits of car owners according to a
|
||
|
|
California ad agency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gearheads - Real car enthusiasts. They enjor driving, tinkering under the
|
||
|
|
hood and, more than anyone else, they believe a car says a lot about its
|
||
|
|
owner. Predominantly male blue-collar workers, gearheads exist for the dream
|
||
|
|
of one day owning a Japanese of domestic sports car that remains just
|
||
|
|
beyond their financial grasp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Epicures - They prefer to drive stylish, elegant, comfortable cars that tell
|
||
|
|
you when the gas is getting low. If you belong to this group you are
|
||
|
|
probably making upwards of $100,000.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Purists - They are young and skeptical about auto-manufacturers claims, but
|
||
|
|
they still love to drive -- especially sports cars. This group contains
|
||
|
|
the highest concentration of laborers and Asian Americans.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functionalists - People who go for fuel-efficiency at the expense of sport-
|
||
|
|
iness or style. Conservative and law-abiding, they buy small and mid-sized
|
||
|
|
domestic cars and are likely to have children waiting for them to get home.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Road-Haters - Those who abhor driving and prefer large dowmstic cars with
|
||
|
|
air bags. This group has the highest concentration of women, the highest
|
||
|
|
median age, the lowest median personal income and the highest concentration
|
||
|
|
of people who are the first to admit they don't know much about their cars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Negatives - They view cars as necessary evils that they would rather do
|
||
|
|
without. They are educated, comprise a high share of household incomes over
|
||
|
|
$75,000, buy small to mid-sized imports and don't care about the color.
