what's your car-o-scope?
http://cartalk.cars.com/Survey/Results/Psychographics/

Here's mine. :

Comparing You to Other Toyota Camry Owners
Boy oh boy, you picked a vehicle that just isn't quite right for you, although you're reasonably compatible in terms of status consciousness, your grasp of reality, and how much you really care about your car.

When compared to other people who drive a Toyota Camry, you're a little too much of a risk-taker, you're a bit too young to be driving this vehicle, you're, well--to be generous--a bit too frugal, you're just too educated to be driving a Toyota Camry, and you make way too much money to be driving a Toyota Camry

For your further edification, here's a little further elucidation on these personality characteristics.

You certainly are a bit of a nut case, aren't you, when it comes to taking chances (well, at least compared to other Toyota Camry owners). Calm down. CALM DOWN! It's not the end of the world, for heaven's sake. And nobody is asking you to change anything about who you are. We'd never do that. Go ahead. Jump off a cliff if that's what makes you happy. But, if this is really what you are, you're gonna have to change vehicles.

OK, there's frugal--and then there's cheap. And you're cheap.

8. I have no idea what mine will be
I drive a chevy conversion van right now. It totally doesn't suit my personality; I inherited it from my mother. It's been a good car to me though, so I can't complain.

9. I know you are wondering if it fires 4 or 6 cylinders,feeling lucky?
New Camry styling has borrowed from the famous glock handgun which is now in the collective subconscience of visual style.SUVs are intimidating so cars must keep up,styling is a cost effective way to look mean on a budget.Gun owners think that they are safer and Camry can offer safety with its looks,neither is true but emotion is a way to add value to a product.Looks matter,US currency printed in girly colors was rejected,nobody liked lime firetrucks,blonds have more fun.http://www.kunstler.com/eyesore_200101.html
