Written in the stars

January 12, 2010

There may be more to choosing a car than we realise. In fact it could be written in the stars which model you opt for, according to research by a leading car hypermarket.
Carcraft matched buyers’ birth signs with the type of car they bought and found there were some strange coincidences with many customers selecting a make and colour depending on when they were born.
For example, Aries the ram tends to go for something flash, sporty and that stands out from the crowd. A red Mazda MX5 or convertible Saab in bright yellow are firm favourites. Sagittarians on the other hand prefer something that accommodates their free spirit and sense of adventure. So a 4×4 or muscular MPV hit the target for the archer. In contrast, eccentric Aquarians go for small and quirky, with a Ford Ka or Mini fitting the bill.
