I'd have to go for some sort of battered old Corsa with a Max Power style bodykit and cherry bomb exhaust
Depends whether you're after teenagers or not. If so, an old Corsa with a fart can is frankly de rigeur and will seemingly have you knee deep in some kind of clunge as soon as you find yourself in a Tesco car park on a Friday night.Otherwise, I'd say a special version of a really normal car. Volvo 850 T5, or Lotus Carlton.
A Lotus Carlton you'd be so busy scraping men off it the women would never even bother.

Do those lot get a lot of flange then? i always just assumed they sat round with a load of other lads in the car park until their tag imposed curfew kicked in then went home and masturbated furiously to babestation or over the pics on fake acebook accounts?

i never had a car at that age as i spent all my money going clubbing, that didn't get me munch flange either, apparantly you don't look at your best charging round a club sweating and gurning at 5am
From my experience, I'd like to nominate a 1990 Corvette C4 in midlife crisis red, with a bright red leather interior and an exhaust which sounds a tad too NASCAR for comfort. Almost every woman I know is embarrassed to be within 20 feet of the thing, let alone be seen in it... fortunately, I've taken to it rather wall, so none of this matters!

Not true! I remember taking a girl out in my Primera GT LE. She actually liked the car.. plenty of room in the back too
She was a bit common mind.
Was it one with the fancy mystic green paint? They usually see the colour before the car...She was a bit common mind.
Too many on here are still thinking like petrol heads.
I know several women who would see a Primera and think 'oh look, a car' then get in.
My vote goes for a 7 of some description.
You can say 'iconic design for 50 years', 'over steer', 'handling' until you are blue in the face.
Non-petrol head Girl will say 'where's the roof', 'its not comfortable' 'I might burn my leg on the exhaust' 'its silly'.
So there we are. Caterham 7. She won't understand, she WILL hate it.

My first car was a Honda Civic coupe with bodykit, farty exhaust, massive spoiler, stickered up like a BDC car and......wait for it.....Lambo Doors 
At 17, the girls loved it, can't see me in it at 25 though
at 17 if i saw you in that i'd have thought you were the man, in fact i'm sure in your area you were the manAt 17, the girls loved it, can't see me in it at 25 though
I had a Vespa scooter thinking i'd look like Jude Law in Alfie, the problems for me were A) I'm not Jude Law, B)He's wearing a Dior suit, i'm wearing hand-me-down waterproofs, C) He's cruising down some cool street in London without a helmet, I've got a helmet that looks like i'm a medieval diver and am going around suburban Derbyshire

The look on my girlfriend's face when I turned up in the Integra one day...
She thought I still had the BMW E46 Sport. Priceless.
My OH wasn't impressed with the Integra I had when I first met her [especially being bright yellow], in fact the first time I went to pick her from her parents house, she asked me not to rev it She thought I still had the BMW E46 Sport. Priceless.
Explaining that it was one of the best drivers cars ever made, made no difference!
