We love the Chevy HHR Panel. It's way cooler-looking than it's window-clad sibling, and in SS trim it's damn fun to drive, too. The HHR isn't a good first date vehicle, however, because nothing puts up more red flags on a first date than a vehicle without windows.
HHR SS Panel Van
We love the Chevy HHR Panel. It's way cooler-looking than it's window-clad sibling, and in SS trim it's damn fun to drive, too. The HHR isn't a good first date vehicle, however, because nothing puts up more red flags on a first date than a vehicle without windows.
Scion xB
The last generation Scion xB was unique. It wasn't pretty, but showed that its owner walked to his or her own beat. The new, curvier xB lost its Fonzy, as evidenced by the sudden up-tick of 39 year-old MBAs at your local Scion store. Not every date is looking for someone "cool", but the xB provides a double dose of date repellent by also being unappealing to the eye.
Mercury Grand Marquis
Nothing says "My grandfather died and left me his car" like a night out in the Mercury Grand Marquis. It's also tough to have fun when people keep mistaking your love machine for a taxi cab. The Grand Marquis is a real throw-back to the days of RWD body-on-frame sedans, but your date likely won't go out of his or her way to extol the virtues of the Mercury's floating, glassy ride.
Infiniti QX56
The QX56 is huge, guzzles gas and looks like it was designed by a team of drunken Picasso poseurs. Driving a QX56 tells your date that you spend no time picking anything based on aesthetics, which will make your date wonder why you picked him or her to begin with. Unfortunately, if you already own this hulking utility vehicle, there isn't exactly a market for really expensive used SUVs, so you can always date other QX56 owners - if you can find them.
Chevy Uplander
Picking up a date in a minivan means you're either very cocky or incredibly uninteresting. Show up at someone's house in a Chevy Uplander and not only are you that guy with that minivan, but you picked the worst possible one.
Ferrari 599 GTB
Any time you get behind the wheel of a Ferrari, you're having a good day. The 599 GTB has all the goods: the prancing horse, a 600+ hp V12 and a $300,000 price tag. But it's not for first dates. We know you think we're crazy here, but if you show up with one of the hottest supercars around, the date peaks at "Holy $!%*, nice car!", and has nowhere to go but down.
