You: Spending More Time With Your Car Than A Date? : Automotive Information


(NAPSI)-According to a new survey, women are more likely to give up a date night for their cars than men. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, showed that 22 percent of women and 16 percent of men would rather spend an evening without their significant other than have to give up their vehicle for the same night. The rapidly growing industry of vehicle customization and tuning hit an all-time record high of $36.7 billion last year, and is rapidly expanding from young adults to "boomer tuners" and soccer moms who want to personalize their minivans, SUVs and family vehicles. "With so many consumers spending countless hours in the garage washing, tuning and personalizing their vehicles, the gearheads at Dodge have created the Caliber SRT4, which comes with all the performance, power and styling of a one-of-a-kind, custom car," said Ralph Gilles, vice president Jeep/Truck & CFM Design, Chrysler, LLC. "It comes packed with performance with 285 horsepower and a 0-60-mph acceleration time of less than 6 seconds, which means tuners and car enthusiasts can spend less time in the garage and more time out on the road enjoying their ride." .ads a:link {color: #0000ff;} .ads a:visited {color: #0000ff;}
