An experiment conducted in London shows that the new MINI is the world’s strongest babe-magnet. This 2012 MINI attracted 28 very skinny and flexible ladies.

The 2012 MINI out-attracted the classic Mini by 5 ladies. The old MINI attracted only 23 ladies. Both are new Guinness World Records™ .

    I know a young guy who inherited his grandmother's 2003 Park Avenue in mint condition. He always has a bevy of young ladies who love the room and ride in big cars. He takes full advantage of the column shift and bench front seat. With everything being downsized, big is going to be a status symbol. The kid is going to be a dirty old man, though. He has a double rear view mirror, one facing the back seat, and he tells the ladies "there's so much room you can cross your legs!"

      @wsn All three have comparable rear hip and shoulder room, but the Buick has the most rear leg room. The Avalon is virtually identical in rear seat room to the Crown Vic. It may just seem bigger because it's in a relatively smaller package. The comparison is to what the ladies are used to, which is usually much smaller rear seats.

    I can attest to the ladies loving MINIs. I get a lot more staring and comments from girls when I'm in my Countryman than I did in the past two months that I've been driving around a Benz, BMW and Audi.

  • Namesakeone If I were the parent of a teenage daughter, I would want her in an H1 Hummer. It would be big enough to protect her in a crash, too big for her to afford the fuel (and thus keep her home), big enough to intimidate her in a parallel-parking situation (and thus keep her home), and the transmission tunnel would prevent backseat sex.If I were the parent of a teenage son, I would want him to have, for his first wheeled transportation...a ride-on lawnmower. For obvious reasons.
  • ToolGuy If I were a teen under the tutelage of one of the B&B, I think it would make perfect sense to jump straight into one of those "forever cars"... see then I could drive it forever and not have to worry about ever replacing it. This plan seems flawless, doesn't it?
  • Rover Sig A short cab pickup truck, F150 or C/K-1500 or Ram, preferably a 6 cyl. These have no room for more than one or two passengers (USAA stats show biggest factor in teenage accidents is a vehicle full of kids) and no back seat (common sense tells you what back seats are used for). In a full-size pickup truck, the inevitable teenage accident is more survivable. Second choice would be an old full-size car, but these have all but disappeared from the used car lots. The "cute small car" is a death trap.
  • W Conrad Sure every technology has some environmental impact, but those stuck in fossil fuel land are just not seeing the future of EV's makes sense. Rather than making EV's even better, these automakers are sticking with what they know. It will mean their end.
  • Add Lightness A simple to fix, strong, 3 pedal car that has been tenderized on every corner.
