It's time for men to keep away the wallets and save some cash, for a new study has claimed that expensive cars don't impress the girls.
If you thought zipping past in on your flashy wheels could pick up the sexy gal - here's a reality check. It doesn't work!
In fact, if a man is good looking then he requires no moolah to attract the opposite sex.The surprising findings, commissioned by SBS TV show Top Gear Australia, showed that a man having a mid-life crisis did not impress the ladies with his expensive Porsche, unless he was accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
To reach the conclusion, researchers measured changes in the brain responses of women towards a range of men depending on the car they drove, reports News.com.au.
The study tested the reactions to a luxury sports car, a ute, a 4WD, a hotted-up street car and a vintage classic.
The study found that the attractiveness of the 'average Joe' family man improved dramatically in almost any of the cars, whereas the 'good-looking surfer' remained very attractive to women even without a vehicle.
The experiment, conducted by Neuro Insight, aimed to explore the argument, "does the car maketh the man''.
