    what confuses me is that only 5% of men care if the girl drives an expensive car yet Men envision desirable gals in BMWs (16%), Mercedes-Benzes (14%) and Porsches (10%).

    And they say women don't know what they want.

    Also put a guy in a jeep wrangler for me and he does become about 30% more attractive to me, put a large dog in the jeep with the guy and it goes up 50%.

    I interpreted that as two separate and distinct questions. The first is what do you envision a hot woman driving. The answer being a luxury sports car. Obviously you envision that because these extremely hot women have used their looks to find a wealthy man or at least a faux wealthy man who is willing to pay the price to get the hot woman to stay with him. The second question is what type of car do you think makes a woman look sexy.

    My SUV is boring but always super clean with a light dusting of dog hair.

    The Harley is what gets the looks, though. I could probably nail any toothless middle-aged meth addicted truckstop prostitute I wanted to when I ride that bad boy,

    I'm biased.

    Seems pretty US-centric. Pick-up trucks are not a normal car to drive in Europe and the UK - I only ever see them in rural areas or occasionally for construction workers(though most of them have vans instead in the UK - too much rain!). Definitely not a city/town vehicle.

    Not just US-centric...certain areas of the US-centric lol. I never see pickups in DC (or any big East Coast city) and I don't think any of my friends would agree with them winning this poll.

    I'm guessing that 1% that liked Mail Trucks are bored housewives?

    Ha! I just had a thought. Montana has Ford F-150's and every other kind of pick up imaginable everywhere! However, we have very few sports cars.

    So according to this study our state has an abundance of attractive men, but very few attractive women......Humph, I don't think I like this study at ALL!!!

    hmm, the only time I pay attention to what a man drives is when it's a hummer or overly- jacked up truck, and only because my immediate reaction is "what a douche canoe"...lol

    Yes, this. I don't consider trucks 'sexy' in fact, quite the opposite. I do understand that they are necessary for certain jobs though and that's fine.
