Women are not born with a minivan gene. They long for style, comfort and even speed, just as men do. In fact, left to our own automotive fantasies, we dream of cars without baby seats, smelly soccer gear and crushed cheerios dusting the cushions. In fact, women typically have more to say about finding the right car than most men would imagine. Gene Cameron, an executive director at J.D. Power notes, “Women are involved in, or represent the principal driver, in about 60% of purchases.” If you closely watch a few car ads, you’ll quickly see that manufacturers sell to women more than men.

If clothes say something about your personality, these babies speak volumes. To help you find your perfect car (or even fantasy car) here’s a quick look at 10 things your (dream) car says about your take on life.
