"Chick Magnet" Cars
By Eric Peters
Cars are like clothes: They're supposed to make us look good. Especially to the opposite sex. Here, then, is a list of cars designed to get the pheromones flowing. How you get that phone number, though, is entirely up to you!
Honda S2000. Get this 240-hp, six-speed rocket in "Indy Yellow" and watch 'em drool. This is one of the hottest new sports cars out there. There are none of the "baggage issues" that come with the Corvette, either.

Any BMW (3-series sedans and Z3s especially). These cars are sexy and classy; they imply the driver has a job (or money), either of which is usually a plus when it comes to attracting the attention of the opposite sex.
Corvette. Though a "cheese factor" exists here, there's no denying the aggressive suggestiveness of this powerful, audacious car. However, it works only if the guy (or gal) behind the wheel at least partially fits the car. A "Disco Danny" with gold chains and a chest wig is not going to be transformed into Tom Cruise just because he has a 'Vette.
Acura Integras (either coupes or sedans). These are similar to BMWs in that they imply a degree of class, mixed with impulsiveness. Old men (and women) don't drive these youthful, come-hither, let's party cars.
Jeep Wrangler soft-tops: Rugged and sexy go together, and these little machines work well, whether you're a gal or a guy. They conjure up images of athleticism and vitality (if it's a guy behind the wheel); adventurousness and "cuteness" if it's a gal. Red and green with tan tops are best.
Honda S2000. Get this 240-hp, six-speed rocket in "Indy Yellow" and watch 'em drool. This is one of the hottest new sports cars out there. There are none of the "baggage issues" that come with the Corvette, either.
Audi TT (coupe or convertible). This car is so drop-dead gorgeous it doesn't matter what the driver looks like. You will get attention. It's up to you how you handle it!
Volkswagen Jettas and Passats. Ineffably, these cars attract attention. But, just like Kevin Costner, it's not obvious why. They're solid, fun and sporty, yet borderline anonymous. Maybe that's it-it's the lure of the ordinary? But they work. It's very strange . . .
PT Cruiser: Unlike two-door/two-seaters, the PT Cruiser can get you to the party and house it, as well. And it isn't threatening, like some "muscle cars" are. Women will not fear you. Making eye contact while in this thing is a snap. It is the Labrador retriever of the automobile world: Almost everyone likes it.
Mercedes (any Mercedes, but especially the CLK430 or CLK320 Cabriolet). Elegant, expensive, powerful. What else do you need to say? Obviously, if you are driving such a car, you've done something right. Ergo, you might be worth a date!
Porsche Boxster. It has none of the image problems of the more costly 911. It's money all the way, though--and as long as you don't resemble Lurch from "The Addams Family," you should have no problem finding a friend.
