What does my car make me look like?

A mid sized Ford?  You could be anybody.  A "Republican" might buy it because he "loves America" and wants to support American workers with his purchase.  A "Democrat" might buy it because he "loves America" and wants to support American Union workers.

Most people are smart enough not to judge someones politics by the car they drive.

(not that you can't tell a lot about a person by what kind of car they drive, you certainly can.  But not politics...at least not with a car as vague as a mid sized Ford.  Now if you're talking Saab's or Subaru's you can make some broad generalizations, especially if you see the person driving the car.  Or big Ford F-250's with a scrotum hanging from a shiny unused trailer hitch.  Or an early 80's full size GM car of various flavors full of Hispanics in hard hats at 7:30 on a weekday morning.)

That's not really realevent when talking about the kind of person who would buy a car because the nameplate on it is an "American" brand.
