The thing about cars is they tend to stereotype the owner. Expedition owners have this image of being rich, devil-may-care gas guzzlers; Picanto owners of being parsimonious, brand-indifferent types; and CR-V owners as practical but brand-conscious types who just like to think that they’re even remotely sporty. Whether or not this is actually true is something worthy of debate, but you get the point: your wheels say what kind of person you are.

Oh sure, those with deep pockets can justify choosing this or that marque over another, citing such reasons as "value-for-money" or "it came with a big discount!", but the truth of the matter is that any el cheapo ride can do the job of a luxury car, which is to transport you from point A to point B. Of course, what separates a rich man’s ride from Average Juan’s clunker is the manner of getting there, wherever "there" may be. You want practical? Get a Picanto. You want more?
