Which car are you?

Not long ago, I took a Facebook quiz entitled, "Which car are you." I am, it transpires, an Alfa Romeo 8C Spyder. My antithesis is a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Now, I'm not sure if this is entirely fair or accurate. True, I drool over the 8C, but I recognize that the Highlander has more merits than most mid-sized SUVs. Beyond that, the results of the quiz make me sound like a supremely impractical, illogical person. I'm not a hopeless romantic. I'm not a utopian and I don't like goats' milk or asparagus. The Alfa, of course, is the happy dreamer of the car world.

The Highlander Hybrid may sound like an appealing choice for people actually enjoy drinking goats' milk, but beneath the hybrid badge is an extraordinarily practical car. The Highlander has a solid reputation for reliability and build quality. It's good in snow and capable on the sunny open road. It can take your kayak and your Saint Bernard, or it can take you without much embarrassment to your office Christmas party. Sure, the Highlander may not be as fun as the Alfa, and it certainly doesn't have the same cache, but it's also cheaper and a much more reasonable all-around purchase.
So why was I the Alfa?

I do like to have a little fun now and then. I enjoy being a tad ridiculous and trifle unreliable. I like style, but believe that truly stylish things are a little odd when compared to the competition. I do, sadly, care what other people think of me. This is likely what made Facebook categorize me as an Alfa, rather than say, a Hyundai Accent. Now, you must realize there are a few things that I'd like to mention that Facebook apparently didn't care about when I took the test. I'm loyal and dedicated. The unreliability is simply due to the fact that I have a lot on the go. I have lofty goals which I'm typically too lazy to reach. I get sidetracked easily, but when I do a job I do it well. I " [...] give the other fella hell." Speed and efficiency matter, but I think it's also important to take in the view now and then. Tradition is on the chart somewhere too. I'm a little old-fashioned.

So what do I think I am? I don't really identify with coupes or convertibles, honestly. A nice sport sedan, maybe? Maybe. Maybe I'm a Jaguar XF, or even an XJ. Perhaps a Saab 9-3 fits the bill, or even a 5-Series. I could also see myself as one of the more basic models of the Cadillac CTS, or even something much, much less expensive, like a Saturn Astra XR or an Impreza or a Matrix.

Volkswagen Passat CC. That's it. I don't know why, it just feels right. Which doesn't make sense, because I don't really like the CC. The big question is, what are you?
