The Face of your Car :)

So all my life, since i was a kid, I have observed vehicles and associated a "look" with them. Something which was my favorite pass time during our extremely long road trips (my dad used to love driving) eventually turned into this crazy psychological funda. I used to point at all the cars that went by and associate an emotion with them. So there was the HAPPY car, the SAD car, the ANGRY car and so on. As i grew up, the fixation of noticing car faces never went away and what came in was an added sense of understanding. I now associate car emotions to those of the owner. So say for example, a happy car would never have a rude owner. True or not, these are my perceptions. People use handwritings and hand gestures to determine behavior. I use CAR FACES :) So lets have a look at it.

Lets start with Hyundai Santro Xing. I find it to be a very complicating car. The first look of it makes it seem like a very happy car!I mean its not just a happy car, its a happy,excited,jumpy car. I almost expect it to hop around. But if i keep looking at it, there is this hidden side of meanness which surfaces and gives me the jitters. I have never been sure if its a happy car or a car pretending to be happy!!

The VW Polo on the other hand has one of the sternest faces in this segment of cars. I wouldn't call it "attitude", its more of a primary school teacher strictness and it's a little overpowering.

Maruti Suzuki Swift is such a HAPPY car. Its got the ":D" smiley face. There is something so positive about it and so energetic.

Lets look at The Honda Accord. That is one powerful car, it oozes of POWER. And Sharpness. Its how everyone would want their boss to be. Powerful and sharp but NOT Angry.

The Honda City on the other hand is such a peaceful car. Its got oodles of attitude and this incredible sense of "coolness" but its still a Calm car, a car which can be a rage on the roads but prefers to be just Calm!!! The earlier city was a much happier car. A baby face car. The new one has got the whole attitude thing going for it. Its as if its grown up!!

The Honda Jazz is such a mouse of a car. The pointy nose makes it look like Stuart Little. Its got something so mischievous in its eyes, like its always up to something notorious:)

One of the most "at peace" and honest cars I've ever seen has to be the Maruti 800. One look at it and it fills me up with this warmth. Its smile and its eyes are just so "in" with each other.

Each and every car just says so much. There is something in those eyes which makes them almost human!! :)
