What do you drive? How much attention?

My business partner has just bought a new 'commercial' Defender for over £110K - I thought their purpose was on farms and the battlefield??
It seems they will be on Hollywood Boulevard instead of a muddy war zone!

Wow that’s going some - my 90 X-Dynamic was £60k new last month.

It was beyond my comprehension, to me the Defender is a workhorse not a 'G Wagon' - apparently it has 7 seats, but removable for commercial status, obviously has 22" wheels and a blue flashing light!

All I know is it's big, black and tows a horse box!

I guess Landrover are pandering to the 'commercial' sector, by making bomb proof gangster cars!
(We don't sell drugs - we are a security business - and not supplying personal protection!!)

Aston Martin Cygnet. Basically gets zero attention until it’s parked and people notice the badge!

Rolls-Royce silver spirit 2 in light metallic blue / parchment upholstery
A fair number of looks every time i take it out but mostly from the over 40s generation
Point to note very little attention from women younger than that.
The words ferrari and porsche seems to light their candle so maybe not the car if you want a fanny magnet lol

Personally I think the Kodiaq is quite a handsome thing, plus the most versatile and economical car I have owned.

The old 911 does get a bit more attention though

here is the 911

Same here some attention from car enthusiasts and surprisingly far more powerful cars wanting to race the poor little thing which I don’t really understand.

Either powerful cars trying to race or ordinary larger cars driving right on the rear bumper trying to push you along. Abarth's are best suited for the country road fun.

Only had good comments and even a thumbs up from a guy in an Audi TT. I drive an Audi RS 3 in Kayalami green.

No just at a local car meeting.

I had a Ruby Red Mustang and was always having conversations with admirers. Sold it and bought a Jag Fpace....zero interest from anyone.

Whilst a few cars are lovely to look at, does anyone `really' worry about how much attention a car will get when they are driving it?
Surely buying a car, should be based on its ability to meet what a person wants out of it, like cost, space, speed, handling, range, practicality, safety etc depending on an different individuals specific needs?

Some cars might attract the wrong attention, so "worry" would depend on circumstance. For instance, a small part of me worried when the wife took out the C63s, especially when you hear about car jackings or people following you home. So not a welcome prospect for a lady with small children.

Good point. As far as myself goes, I really dont care how much attention a car I am driving gets, unless it is the wrong sort of attention, including that from car jackers, or the police!

Corrado VR6 - no one looks at it or gives it any attention. Sold it but have another one as a project.
MK2 Golf - lots of looks (sold it now though).
