Aries
You racy rams have only two speeds: breakneck and stop. Daredevils all, you live life in the fast lane. But as you often take on more than you have the patience or attention span for (you bore easily), you seldom cross the "finish" line.
Dream Ride: Candy Red Ferrari
Station Car: Candy Red Ferrari
Taurus
You bulls are pragmatic, dependable and built to last – and you expect your cars to be, too. You know that, even as you’re reading this, something is breaking down on a Ferrari. And unlike Aries, you mellow souls are in no hurry to get anywhere fast. But as the "Material Girls" of the zodiac, you do want to arrive in style. You creatures love your comforts and want a smooth, luxurious ride in a car that never loses it value.
Dream Ride: Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG
Station Car: The aptly named Ford Taurus
Gemini
To keep up with your manic bright lights/big city lifestyles, you Twins need a car that’s as good at getting in and out of tight spots as you are. The two-seater was made for you double entendres, but any zippy little car will do.
Dream Ride: Canary Yellow BMW Z-3
Station Car: Mini-Cooper
Cancer
You cautious, family-friendly Crabs must have safe, reliable cars roomy enough to cart around your entire brood, immediate and extended, including pets and the occasional flea market find. Victorian fainting couch anyone?
Dream Ride: Volvo XC90 - "safer than a bank vault," it seats seven and the back rows fold flat
Station Car: Volvo S40
Leo
You royals need a ride fit for a king, so you buy big, showy cars that attract plenty of attention (It was fellow lion Arnold Schwarzenegger who popularized the Hummer)and have extra-large rear- and side-view mirrors so you may indulge in your favorite activity: self reflection.
Dream Ride: Rolls Royce Phantom
Station Car: Lincoln Navigator
Virgo
You Miss Marples, with your keen, analytical minds, never miss a trick. Yet, when it comes to picking the perfect partner you’re often clueless. Fortunately, you fare better with your cars. Unlike showy Leos, modest and pragmatic Virgins don’t need to drive a fancy car, just a perfect one. Only vehicles with fine German engineering pass your impossibly high standards.
Dream Ride: BMW 8 series
Station Car: BMW 3 series
Libra
With your highly refined sensibilities and excellent taste, fair Libra’s ideal car must be a work of art: luxuriously appointed and lovely to look at. Ugliness, of any kind, makes you physically ill. For this reason, you show disdain for American cars because, as one Libra pal puts it, “the dashboards are all hideous."
Dream Ride: Any Jaguar
Station Car: Audi A-4
Scorpio
Scorpions are intense! You lust for far more than physical passion -- you want total power and control. The Scorpio driver must dominate the road -- or else. The cars you drive must have superb handling, huge horsepower and, most important, an intimidating name.
Dream Ride: Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Station Car: Corvette Stingray
Sagittarius
Sporty, outdoorsy and loads of fun, you mustangs never met a car you didn’t like. While you revere fast little convertibles, when it comes time to answer the call of the wild you need a rugged, all-terrain ride with plenty of cargo space for bikes, surfboards, golf bags, kayaks, tents, hang gliders . . .
Capricorn
Dream Ride: Aston Martin DB 9
Station Car: Subaru Outback
Hardworking, high-climbing goats want a car that is powerful, dependable and screams status. At the same time, Capricorn’s are said to be so tightfisted they makes Scrooge look like Santa Claus. Is it true? Well, I’m a Capricorn and . . . I’m not talking.
Dream Ride: Bentley Arnage RL
Station Car: Ford Focus
Aquarius
Decidedly unconventional, you mavericks pride yourselves on being different and espousing humanitarian causes. Your ideal ride is a car that no one else has and/or doesn’t contribute to global warming.
Dream Ride: Lotus Esprit
Station Car: Toyota Prius
Pisces
You dreamy "soles" have intoxicating personalities, which prompts some to chide that “driving while Pisces” should be outlawed. I say, just give you a big, armored car that everyone can see coming, and equip it with GPS so you know where you’re going.
Dream Ride: A Hummer
Station Car: An old Saturn with dent-resistant fenders
