Default Aston Martin tops Forbes list of “Wheels women melt over”

Aston Martin tops Forbes list of “Wheels women melt over”

Forbes.com, says: “A babe magnet can be a car or even a truck.” It notes that [they’re usally expensive and therefore exclusive; sporty; never boring.” ... “A babe magnet’s effectiveness depends on different tastes, even different locations. But most of all, it depends on the woman.”

Here’s the list:

Aston Martin DB9. “James Bond Babe Magnet.” $162,050. Until the DBS comes out.

Bentley Continental GT. “Upwardly Mobil Babe Magnet.” $169,990. “As at home in front of the manse as it is at the club.”

Cadillac Escalade. “Bold and Brazen Babe Magnet.” Starts at $55,570. “As bling on wheels as you can get.”

Dodge Magnum SRT9. “Suburban Babe Magnet.” Starts at $38,345. “You’re not alone if you find something weird about a station wagon as a babe magnet, but for the right woman, it might do the trick.”

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. “Rodeo Drive Babe Magnet.” Starts at $260,969. “Just about any Ferrari is a babe magnet.”

Lamborghini Gallardo. “Las Vegas Babe Magnet.” Starts at $178,550. You can rent one by the Vegas airport, but “just remember the car you rent in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.”

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. “Beach Babe Magnet.” Starts at $186,000. “The ultimate babe magnet for a trip to the seashore... with the retractable aluminum top down, you can work on your tan.”

Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe. “Car Nut Babe Magnet.” Starts at $122,900. “Paul Newman (a walking babe magnet) raced one at LeMans in 1979.”

Supercharged Range Rover Sport. “Horse Country Babe Magnet.” Starts at $71,250. “Like a Range Rover, only better.”

Toyota Prius. “Green Babe Magnet.” Touring Edition starts at $23,070. “It’s rated at 55 mpg, and that’s sexy to green babes.”

Most "babes" have no clue about cars.

If they're in a riced Civic driving fast, they think it's hot...

Seriousey, pull up to the club with a fresh paint job, clean rims, clean overall and you have a good chance of getting a 'babe'. Having a Aston might help though

Does it come with a shaver and deodorant?

Oh wait, I'm thinking hippie

I don't know, sounds pretty "shallow" to me. I thought Forbes was about being prestigious and classy.

These are cars that all car fanatics would love to get for themselves...not sure about the prius though

I wouldn't want a girl who was coming up to me based on my car unless they knew a lot about the car and not the price tag.

Just another inane Forbes 'lifestyle' poll. IMO Forbes editorial integrity has gone down the gurgler ever since Malcolm Forbes passed away. Now all they report on is the worlds richest, most influential, pretty, (fill in the blank) people, and stupid polls like this.

As far as this "babe magnet" stuff goes, I think somebody has been watching too many movies. The real world is not 007.

Thanks. I'm glad you stepped in, Liz.

We need to hear from some of the CL ladies on what a bunch of real-world BS this "babe-magnet" stuff is.
