LV= shows woman car insurance customers prefer Mercs to Ferraris
Research from LV= has shown that woman car insurance customers are more impressed by Mercedes than Ferraris.
The car insurance company looked at which cars men thought would most impress a date and which cars actually did make an impact on the ladies.
21% of men interviewed said that they would opt for a flashy sports car when picking a girl up on a first date. However, women told LV= that something less flashy - but still luxurious, such as a Mercedes or BMW - would impress them more.
A spokesperson for the motor insurance firm commented: "What impresses your mates may not impress your date, and our survey shows that pulling up in a smart car with a touch of luxury will flick more of the right switches than a flame-red two-seater."
He went on to say that dating experts believe woman car insurance customers rate stability over risk-taking, which could explain the preference for Mercs over Ferraris.
When asked what the worst vehicle to be collected in for a first date would be, the VW Beetle, Smart car and camper van came top of the ladies' lists.
