Want to Appear More Powerful? Choose Black for Your Next Car Colour
autoTRADER.ca Survey Links Vehicle Colour to Personality Types
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/30/14 -- Attention automotive / business / lifestyle editors:
If you're a powerful person, you're most likely to drive a black car, at least according to the results of a new survey from autoTRADER.ca, which asked its online community across Canada for their opinions on car colour and its connection to personality traits.
"There's no denying that car colour is an overwhelming decision-maker when it comes to acquiring a new set of wheels," says Ian MacDonald, Director of Marketing at autoTRADER.ca. "We thought it would be interesting to dig a bit deeper into what Canadians think about the subject."
The unscientific survey of 1,453 Canadians across Canada found that:
When asked about their favourite car colour in general, the top three choices were: Black (28 per cent), white (19 per cent) and blue (17 per cent). Moreover, colour is considered crucial to the car buying transaction, with 75 per cent of Canadians listing car colour as either "essential" or "Important" when it comes to buying a vehicle.
"Whatever the colour," adds MacDonald, "autoTRADER.ca has buyers and sellers covered with myriad tips and to-do's to keep in mind throughout the process. And with over 400,000 vehicles in our marketplace, autoTRADER.ca is sure to have listings that appeal to even the most discerning car colour aficionado."
