You are what you drive!

Or so they say. Here is what we think your car says of you.

Maruti 800
This little number probably screams to the world that you cannot afford anything else.

On the other hand, a sophisticated view might be that you are a 'no frills' guy. For you, a car is something you need to go from point A to point B "" even if it is via the capital of Boredom.

Maini Reva
You think you have an electric personality (and you also probably love electric shavers).

Your neighbours think it will go up in flames next time you plug it in, and the car-wash guy won't touch it with a bargepole. The positive side of it is that you are conveying a green signal to the er..green brigade "" they love you for driving a zero pollution car.

Hyundai Santro
You're a really big fan of Shah Rukh Khan/Preity Zinta/both. You sometimes wonder why you paid so much money for all that headroom that never gets used.

However, you tell yourself that some day you'll give a seven-foot basketballer a lift, and the sunshine comes flooding back into your life.

Tata Indica
You want the largest things in life for the least amount of money. And yes, the folks at the authorised service station love you to death.

One of the service managers is so friendly that he invited you for his son's birthday. Much more car per car indeed. Some people think you are patriotic, though you think India got independence from the French on August 15, 1947.

Daewoo Matiz
Smart guy. Didn't buy it when it was expensive and new. Bought it after the company sank and when it was dirt cheap and relatively smelly. So what if he is still hunting for a spare headlamp? After all, cars can go wrong, right?

Honda CR-V
You're on a solo round-the-world expedition. You cleave through thick rainforest and gooey mud, cross raging streams and boulders with ease, race through Saharan landscapes, climb near-vertical mountains...and then you wake up.

Toyota Qualis
For you life is black and white, or better still, a rather big rectangle and some squares thrown in. You needed a large car that could transport your entire family tree and ran on diesel, and you got it. As for aesthetes, well, wait till you show them your house.

Mitsubishi Lancer Diesel
You would rather merge into a crowd than stand out. Your idea of haute couture is a crisp white dhoti with an equally white shirt.

In all probability, your next car is the Ambassador Avigo. You also took an afternoon nap in your last job, only to wake up 20 years later. Don't worry, no one will dare question your loyalty.

Hyundai Sonata
You love it big and shiny. You have chrome-lined furniture at home and your wife wears a minimum of a 100 sovereigns of gold to every wedding. You asked the Hyundai dealer whether you could get a loud speaker as an optional extra, so that you could tell the world that you have arrived in life.

Toyota Camry
You don't really know which car you bought, but you remember that it cost a hell of a lot. The only criterion when you were shopping for a car was whether it could accomodate your girth, and the Camry fit the bill. And yes, you honestly believe Formula One is an old brand of cough syrup.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class
You are the poor soul who succumbed to 'the' star and found that you don't really fit into the back seat. You wonder why hotel valets always go for the rear door.

You occasionally get nightmares of spending a truck load of money to buy something very small. You weren't aware that a set of floor mats cost Rs 12,000.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
You wear a thick gold chain and tried dyeing your grey chest hair (you failed and tried shaving it off later on). You bought a Prado because everyone in your circle and their uncles had one. You think Salman Khan is not guilty.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class
You are so obsessed with safety that you retire every evening inside a locker room. You get turned on by bank vaults. Your friends call you an air-bag behind your back while you wonder why office chairs don't have seat belts.

Maybach
You are either a gutkha magnate with a seriously spoiled daughter or are attempting to split a Rs One Lakh Crore company into parts.
