It is always interesting to see "info-snippets" that proclaim that their anecdotal observations will absolutely pick the next President.
But THIS one has me voting for Obama!
Presidential Candidate Preference Related to Car-Owner Brands, Segments, According to kbb.com Market Research
According to Kelley Blue Book http://www.kbb.com Marketing Research, the car brand and segment owned by voters is related to their preference in presidential candidates. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) rates high among domestic and luxury owners. Among the domestic brands, owners of GMC (61 percent), Chevrolet (60 percent), Buick and Dodge (each at 58 percent), as well as Ford (57 percent) vehicles are the highest in favor of McCain. In the luxury vehicle segment, McCain leads among Lexus, BMW, and Lincoln owners at 52 percent each.
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) leads McCain among owners of import vehicles with the highest ratings for MINI (70 percent), Subaru (61 percent), and Saab (59 percent). Fifty percent of Honda owners plan on voting for Obama, ten points higher than McCain.
Aarrgghh! THIS owner has been buying Saabs since 1979 (3 so far – a 99, a 900, and now a 9-5) because they last (well, we’ll see about the 9-5 as it really is a GM car since Saab sold out to GM).
Trust me – me voting for Obama because I drive Saabs? I rather think not. While you’ll be able to get the Saab (not my car below, btw) out of my hands faster then you would my laptop, loyal readers can be assured that Obama will not be getting my vote. Even if it is from one of the most socialists nations in the world….Sweden.
