A quote from page 22 of "Is Your Volkswagen A Sex Symbol"
"Volkswagen buyers are a special group. When you buy a Volkswagen, you don't just get a car; you aquire alot of friends --other Volkswagen owners. The Volkswagen is a way of life. More than that, it is a declaration of a certain attitude towards life and society. The Volkswagen owner is saying that he is concerned about economics, air pollution and good craftsmanship. Volkswagen owners include students, professional people, and executives as well as older retired persons who appreciate economy and ease of handling. Creativity marks the Volkswagen owners. They usually take an intellectual and rational view of life. They are individualists. A Volkswagen owner is almost fiercely loyal to his "bug" and does not harbor secret wishes to own a Cadillac, a Thunderbird or a Continental."
In fact, the above reference is the ONLY reference listed in the index other than the name in the title of the book by Dr. Jean Rosenbaum I also noted that while on the discussion of automobiles and the intrinsic significance between the type of automobile we own and our sexual orientation Dr. Jean only discusses Volkswagens, Convertibles, Station Wagons, Luxury Cars and 4x4....Hmmm, Volkswagen is a type of car and not a brand... kevin
