While entertaining, the study is a bit silly. What about hobbyists? people who are interested in cars will likely be more interested in cars of higher quality. I don't know anyone who dreams of one day owning a 10 year old Camry. So they must be self-centered ego maniacs. I think on some level it's true that people who go for luxury name brands for the sake of it tend to be more stuck up. But couldn't the same be said for apple products, or makeup, purses or even real estate? There is so much non-news out there.

Saw this in another forum. We're either rich and jerks or rich and thoughtful. Darn thing is I don't fit either category. But then I don't buy them new.

Haha exactly! I am thankful for the wealthy people who do though.

"scientists say"

I remember when CNN was a respectable news organization. What sad times we live in.

That's all confirmation bias. The researchers obviously did this study to prove something they already wanted to argue in their own minds so they extract what they can to prove the stupid theory.

The car a person drives really has nothing to do with the personality. If you like a car you can just simply like a car. It has nothing to do with what type of person you are. So people who own firearms like to harn people more than those that so not? Picking some inanimate object and saying why a person has it or prefers one over the other really proves nothing unless yours trying to make a connection for what you already have in mind.

Someone should tell the author of that study to stop hating lol

Only time I've seen that article to be true is with Tesla owners. Every client of ours that has one turns out to be the worst to work with and I would call them "jerks" in general. Think I'll start having a "special price" for Tesla owners...they'll feel even more special then!

Prius drivers imo are the biggest asshats on Long Island...either they occupy the left lane and refuse to yield right, think they are driving a lambo weaving in and out, or are just plain oblivious to all that is surrounding them. Would like to see a dedicated survey piece on them without bias
