Today's Community Question: Which car stereotypes are the most unwarranted?
The automotive community is a supportive network of car guys/girls who all share the same passion for four wheels. But that doesn’t stop us disagreeing from time to time, with many of these disagreements stemming from common stereotypes.
The automotive community is a supportive network of car guys/girls who all share the same passion for four wheels. But that doesn’t stop us disagreeing from time to time, with many of these disagreements stemming from common stereotypes. I mean, how many times have you heard that ‘MX-5s are for hairdressers’ or that ‘all Hondas are ricers’?
Granted these quips can be funny, and they’re usually made in good jest (we’ve done it plenty), but we want to know which stereotypes CTzens think are unfair and undeserved? Let us know in the comments below!

-“You have to own a car in order to be a carguy” also Muscles cant turn,Hondas are rice,FWD is trash,and japanese cars have no power
Car guys are poor and stupid. Whenever I tell a non-car-enthusiast I like cars they always tread me like I’m retard3d, to a majority of the dutch (middle class) tuning is something only done by shtty mechanics working for minimum wage. If you are wondering what people in supercars or brand new M3s are, those are just rich ssholes in the minds of most middle class dutchies. Dreaming of skylines, 2jz and a M3 E30 makes me an odd duck in uni, they either dream of “whatever lamborghini is cool once I can afford one” and/ or they don’t care one bit about cars
I drove a 2016 mustang gt and was pleasantly surprised in how good it was in the corners. I’m an import guy, so going in with the idea implanted in my head, muscle cars can’t handle, I was blown away. However, with that being said, although this muscle car (or other similar cars) handled well. I can’t say I would say it handles better than sporty imports. Before everyone jumps on this and tries to rip me a new one, keep in mind that muscle cars are usually BIG and HEAVY, whereas imports are typically small and lightweight. To finish, saying a car can lap a track faster than another is not directly related to how well it can take a corner. There’s a reason these muscle cars dominate imports on the nurburgring, it’s called power! You can’t win a race on handling alone, eventually you’re going to need to move…
The Porsche Cayman is the poor mans Porsche….
That’s the boxter
Not everyone that owns a Volvo is a Volvogreasers
“Typical Audi understeer”
“Auto can completely ruin a car”
All Lamborghini’s are for show offs…
