Men who drive expensive vehicles really are more attractive to American singles, according to a study by university researchers.
Psychologists proved what car-dealers have boasted for generations the car one drives is key when it comes to turning a American single's head.
The university team showed American singles pictures of the same man sitting in two Automobiles - a 70,000 Dollar silver Bentley Continental and a battered Ford Taurus.
The american singles, who were aged between 21 to 40, picked the man sitting in the Bentley ahead of the same man in the Ford.
Dr Michael Dunn, of the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, said it shows American singles rate a man higher if he is behind the wheels of a "fancy motor rather than in an old banger".
His research, in the latest edition of the British Journal of Psychology, also shows that men are more interested in a American single's appearance rather than just them motor.
