Vehicles with the highest percentage of male drivers

May 28, 2008

When it comes to cars men have a desire for cars that exude power, performance and exclusivity. Vehicles with the highest percentage of male drivers are among the flashiest, loudest and most expensive models on the market.

If you see a canary-colored Lamborghini Gallardo cruising down the street, nine times out of 10 a man will be at the wheel.

Men’s desire to showcase power and aggression with the vehicles they drive stems from an “animal nature,” Men want to be seen and heard. Specifically, they want to be seen in a vehicle that others can’t have. Unlike women, rather than cars, women use jewelry, high-end fashion, make ups, expensive shoes, and expensive handbags to create a distinctive look. When it comes to creating an image of wealth and influence, men have fewer choices in attire and accessories — that’s where the cars come in.

Same goes for other attention-getting sports cars, chauffeur-worthy sedans and burly sport utility vehicles that make up the list of the Top 10 Vehicles Driven by Men.

Toyota Camry vs. Ford F-150 as U.S. top seller

May 20, 2008

Past year 2006 sources confirmed that Toyota overtakes Ford’s position as the number two carmaker in America. According to New York Times states that inner Ford projections explain that Toyota’s fast growing market share will be higher compare to Ford’s decreasing sales on year 2007. Still, Ford is competing in the auto market, but has practicing a strategy named “Way Forward” that will aid lessen the failures and raise the income by recovering efficiencies and productions. George Pipas, Ford’s head sales statistician, refused to give an idea on the projections, he says “Unless you think Toyota is going to go backwards, it’s a good possibility that they will gain market share.” Toyota is running amazingly fast, the first month it hit Ford in US sales was July 2006.

For this year, there is another issue about the Toyota Camry overtaking the Ford F-150 for the top seller vehicle in United States.

For the month of April 2008, the Camry model overtook the Chevrolet Silverado to go into second rank for the record in a year and is covering closer to the Ford F-150 productions. According to news from the AIADA trader group, Toyota Camry has been reach the top selling passenger automobile in the United States for ten out of the last 11 years but until lately the space involving it along with the F-150 and Silverado was so broad that no one expected their pickups might be beat from their perch.

Ford Motors and GM are from admitting defeat. According to some source, the Ford was set to launch a slighter, smaller and extra fuel-efficient mini-truck akin on the F-150, (in my research, I think it is the F-100 or they call it (“Baby Truck”) at the same time the GM is performing a innovative research revisions on the upcoming of SUV’s and pickups and tactics to bring up more crossovers that look like a typical car to maintain its previous and past SUV purchasers.
