Men Use Porsches Like Peacocks Use Feathers: Study
I wonder if this applies to G35s/G37s?

Although many would consider the human race to be an exception to the general rule of nature that the males are the more colorful and flamboyant of the genders, a new study indicates this isn't the case--and that human males use cars as their colorful plumage--particularly Porsches. Best of all, it works--sort of.
Investigating the attractiveness of men to a group of women, the study evaluated relative responses when the same man was presented in the presence of a Porsche or an economy car, such as a Honda Civic. The results are perhaps unsurprising, but no less interesting.
The women found the Porsche men to be more attractive, but suited only to short-term, un-committed sexual relationships. Specifically, the Porsche owner was found no more desirable than any other for marriage or longer-term relationships. Honda Civic drivers, on the other hand, were thought to be good marriage material, possibly because they're more frugal and practical.
Is it the inherent properties of the car that influence this decision, or what it says about the man that bought it? The study says there is a "link between the things that you buy, how you spend your money, and what kind of relationship you are interested in." So what about female Porsche owners?
The study finds that women don't buy cars--or other expensive items--to attract men, saying there must be "some reason other than attracting the opposite sex" for the purchase. We're not entirely sure about this one, based on anecdotal evidence in the form of receipts from high-end clothing shops, but we'll yield to academia for now.
The bottom line, male Porsche owners: women think you're only in it for the evening, but they do find you more attractive than others when your car is in the frame. Now to open that all-night parking garage night club.

Porsche works better. Average people know what a Porsche is regardless of which model of Porsche it is. If you tell a girl you drive a g35, or even an Infiniti g35, she probably won't have a clue.

I know. This thread was made facetiously. Girls don't know squat about cars. They just know that Porsches are expensive and that guys who have them have money.
Funny story, a few years back...ok a lot of years back, my manager bought a GT2. I bet him that night that I could get a phone number without saying a word, before he could chat up a gal...mind you he is a woman scoring MACHINE! Simple version, I placed his keys on the bar in front of me and enjoyed my drink...and won the bet 
So that is how I got to drive a Porsche for the first time

Decent price with a touch of luxury and decent speed.

Porches do not excite me. Come on people, they look they same as it was back in the '60s, all their models look alike. Chicks get excited to see you drive a Porche because they know Porches cost alot of money and so if you own a Porche, you probably have ton of money to take them out. For that type of money, give me an Aston Marton or Maserati Coupe.
