Cars you'd stereotype to a job
Discussion
[quote=AMGJocky]Vauxhall Insignia - Field Sales rep with capped commission.
Golf R - Everyone.
Mini Cooper (of all variants) - Young blonde beautician.
Quite so. The one in my area has had her's painted pink and, for the record it's a good job. Can,t vouch for her, but her business seems successful. Don't think Cooper S is included here.Guess we are talking about the new style Mk 1 ( BMW Mini) but the S is group 31 insurance and has a serious drink problem. Incidentally other Minis in this series not abstemious either..

Just my observations. Likely to be completely wrong to someone who works in a different field.
Managers - whatever they can get in their company car limit. Usually top-spec Golfs, mid-spec Passats, or base-spec BMW 3-series.
Employees with company cars - the most sporty looking vehicle with a diesel engine. Audi TTs rule this section of the car park, with the odd Scirocco thrown in for flavour.
Flashy folks - some form of new car with enormous alloys and the full sporty bodywork, but with the smallest engine/lease creature comforts available. Read: A200 AMG, A3 S-line, I've even seen a Focus with a lot of the ST bodywork but with an automatic 1.0 Ecoboost engine.
For balance -
Petrolheads - dependant on circumstance (e.g. kids or not), anything between an S1 Elise and a new 911. Not in the car park often (if ever), but it's an occasion when one of the guys with, say, an F430, decides to take it to work. The managers don't mind, the company car employees go and admire the car, the finance brigade sneer because that Ferrari is 10 years old and their Corsa 1.2 is 6 months old and a limited edition, and the petrolheads are normally finding inventive ways to go and fetch their fun cars and trade quick hoons around the airport.
