experiment shows mini most powerful babe magnet

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!"

  GM cars look big from the outside, but are really small from the inside. A new Camry would soundly beat a Crown Vic. I am not 100% sure about the 2003 Park Ave, but chances are that an Avalon would beat it.

  @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.

GregLocock Car companies can only really sell cars that people who are new car buyers will pay a profitable price for. As it turns out fewer and fewer new car buyers want sedans. Large sedans can be nice to drive, certainly, but the number of new car buyers (the only ones that matter in this discussion) are prepared to sacrifice steering and handling for more obvious things like passenger and cargo space, or even some attempt at off roading. We know US new car buyers don't really care about handling because they fell for FWD in large cars.
Slavuta Why is everybody sweating? Like sedans? - go buy one. Better - 2. Let CRV/RAV rust on the dealer lot. I have 3 sedans on the driveway. My neighbor - 2. Neighbors on each of our other side - 8 SUVs.
Theflyersfan With sedans, especially, I wonder how many of those sales are to rental fleets. With the exception of the Civic and Accord, there are still rows of sedans mixed in with the RAV4s at every airport rental lot. I doubt the breakdown in sales is publicly published, so who knows... GM isn't out of the sedan business - Cadillac exists and I can't believe I'm typing this but they are actually decent - and I think they are making a huge mistake, especially if there's an extended oil price hike (cough...Iran...cough) and people want smaller and hybrids. But if one is only tied to the quarterly shareholder reports and not trends and the big picture, bad decisions like this get made.
Wjtinfwb Not proud of what Stellantis is rolling out?
Wjtinfwb Absolutely. But not incredibly high-tech, AWD, mega performance sedans with amazing styling and outrageous price tags. GM needs a new Impala and LeSabre. 6 passenger, comfortable, conservative, dead nuts reliable and inexpensive enough for a family guy making 70k a year or less to be able to afford. Ford should bring back the Fusion, modernized, maybe a bit bigger and give us that Hybrid option again. An updated Taurus, harkening back to the Gen 1 and updated version that easily hold 6, offer a huge trunk, elevated handling and ride and modest power that offers great fuel economy. Like the GM have a version that a working mom can afford. The last decade car makers have focused on building cars that American's want, but eliminated what they need. When a Ford Escape of Chevy Blazer can be optioned up to 50k, you've lost the plot.
