If you did a poll to people and asked what their dream car would be I can almost guarantee that it would be something very fast, very shiny and that would attract attention from the opposite sex. So where on earth does this idea come from?
Games
Games such as Forza and GT are getting much more realistic as they get older and I cannot wait for the new GT to arrive. For me no game on the PS3 can replace something on the Xbox even though I have both consoles. Many people will sit down and play a game and really want that car that they are currently racing with. Not only do people get to see how good the car looks thanks to the recent advancements in graphics but because the developers take time to really put the feel of the car into the game you almost get to take it for a test drive.
Childhood
I remember the days in which I sat playing with the model cars I had been bought and thinking I would simply love to own this Ferrari or something along those lines. You then almost set yourself a life goal in that one day you will own a car very similar to this. For many people who have no played on the Xbox and Playstation in their childhood is the main way of getting these thoughts.
Celebrities
If you are a keen celebrity follower you will know how important having something like their car would be pretty cool, this influences people a lot when it comes to car buying. A lot of people would be very happy that they own the same car as someone famous.
Of course realistically this is not going to happen and people are struggling to get a car on something like bad credit car finance or bad credit car leasing. Other options like gap insurance and car leasing are out there to help people who want that fast car.
