    Hillbilly culture in America has never been stronger. They are just feeding the animals what they like to eat.

    My experience is "yes" to a lot of people: Trucks over F or P cars all the time.

    My wife has ALWAYS thought guys in big nice trucks are sexy. She's never been
    all that impressed with sports cars. I don't think her opinion is all that unusual really.

    Fascinating.

    Other countries you have to pay someone to drive a truck. Here it's a preference. Go figure.

    In my limited ownership experience, I have to say I have gotten 0 attention from women in the 328. On the other hand, strangely enough, I have seen a car full of young, nubile co-eds having a conversation at a stoplight with a dude in a Ram. I would like to think it was the car that turned them off of talking to me, but i may just be deluding myself....

    I hate to say it, but I think its somewhat true. I don't know why. I get more attention in the Silverado Crew Cab than the 430. Weird. I don't try to understand the female mind.
    Maybe I am a hillbilly, but I love having a pickup. The bed makes buying, removing, etc a breeze.

    in many parts of the country opening the door on a pick-up truck is a way of turning the "bedroom lights" on :=)

    Sad to say, but I see a lot more girls responding to a truck versus a sports car. Remember, we live in a society that, generally, dislikes successful people. A truck, no matter the size, etc., does not scream rich guy. To many, a Ferrari or Porsche does and that's a bad thing. As the vast majority on here say, buy the car for you, not to try to pick up dumb blondes.

    Also, this country loves rednecks.

    I remember reading something years ago in a insider auto rag. Woman like men with trucks because they can move big bulky items for them.

    Ugh :)

    My wife isn't really interested in my Ferrari, but she gets super excited when I make & fix things in the house.

    As the piece says about pickup trucks:

    That makes a lot of sense to me, and it's no surprise. The fairer sex was never a consideration when I bought my Ferrari. I love its styling, its engine, its earthy back to basics dynamics. It's an engineering & 3D design thing and, at least for me, has absolutely zero to do with getting attention.

    Not necessarily when driving it, but when I get out of it in a parking lot or something like that. Many women say things like "nice truck". Maybe its more intimidating to say something like that when one steps out of an F car. Again, I have no idea why and don't plan on figuring it out.

    When I started racing motorcycles, I used to drive my Ford F150 supercrew extended cab all over the place with a bunch of petrolhead stickers on the window and I will admit, I got even more attention from the ladies, particularly when I had two motorcyles in the cab. Perhaps they thought me more manly and that means more testosterone and that means . . . ;)

    And that was the most practical car I have ever owned, able to transport 6 people and a whole lot of crap and pull a trailer to boot!

    reminds me of a time I'm waiting for my jeep to be pulled up at a very high end restaurant in Houston. There is a large group of women behind me, and there is one after the other Mercedes, Bentley's, etc pulling up and when my jeep pulls up, a lady behind me says "now THAT is my kind of car" lol

    If you want to cover all of your bases, tow the Ferrari behind your truck :).
