Re: Stereotypical Physical Traits by Profession
Merc GLA250 is a decent compromise. Quite sporty but not too 'mid-lifey'. The GLA45 is a different thing again though. A so-called 'crossover'??? that can hit the scramble to 100km/h in around 4.5 seconds from a 2 litre 4 banger is no dog. Fun if you can spec the optional launch control as well !

On the topic of headlights, I think fog lights should be banned on cars here. |

Literally zero imagination. Good cars but I would get pretty much anything else not to be part of the other 20 odd GTIs in the car park. Though for all things fast it has to be a motorbike |
Re: Stereotypical Physical Traits by Profession
For me, the sterotypes are:
Builder - tattoos, overweight with muscles - driving a van and a previa for the weekends Estate / Recruitment Agent - skinny tie, premiership footballer haircut - driving a hot hatch Banker - Fat, red faced, expensive ill fitting suit - driving a 2 seater sports car or 4x4, both never used to their full extent. Salesrep - stinking of cheap aftershave, cheap suits - driving company BMW, or Cavalier |

America is very unique in that it is the only country where you have regular Joe drive pickup trucks, even though they don't need it. Seems like the UAE is also a good candidate for people to drive pickups, considering all the recreational options available there. Full size pickups can be quite luxurious, on par with luxury cars.

Re: Stereotypical Physical Traits by Profession
Thailand too is a country filled with pick up trucks driven by everyone almost. They fall in a different tax regime which makes them relatively cheap. Nearly all run on diesel and are used for carrying anything. Including your entire extended family on trips all over the country. So endemic is this that the loss of lives attributed to carrying people in the back of a pick up truck has sparked moves to improve matters. Accordingly it looks like there will soon be a requirement to have the bed of your truck fitted with seat belts :lol::lol::lol::rofl:
