Everyone knows the stereotype of the left-wing academic liberal, who drinks a daily latte at Starbucks and drives a Volvo wagon. Since that first appeared, the car is no longer a Volvo, but more than likely a Toyota, a Hyundai, a Nissan or even a BMW, a Mercedes or a Volkswagon—anything but an American car.
In fact, I can’t name anyone I know who drives an American car except me. The argument is simple: if you want a good car, buy Japanese.

Subaru....the choice of lesbians.
