Stereotype - a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals

The world is filled with clichés and stereotypes and the world of motor cars and their drivers is, of course, no exception. In an attempt to find a little slice of weekend fun we did a straw poll in the offices of MTI and came up with our own list of cars and their very stereotypical drivers. We’re sure it will enrage some people (heterosexual Honda S2000 drivers for a start) but it’s just the opinion of a few seasoned old motor trade pro’s. This list is by no means exclusive or exhaustive so everyone is welcome to voice their own opinion or dispute an entry. The train is now arriving in the small French town of Cliché......
