Honestly, I don’t want to continue seeing a papa (a male supporter) if he drives a kei car or an inexpensive Japanese car. I gradually lose interest unless he drives something nicer than any car my own father has ever owned.

At the very least, I want him to have a decent car.
What kind of car looks sexy with a woman behind the wheel?
Thanks to my papas, I think I’ll be able to afford a nice car, so I’m thinking of buying one too.
Would the classic choice be a Mercedes?
Mr. Maezawa from the president’s office here, answering as well.

A sexy car?
That’s a pretty difficult question.
I feel that women generally look sexy driving a sports car.
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis, and the like are so low to the ground that getting in and out in a miniskirt might cross the line from sexy into downright indecent.
A Maserati isn’t quite as low, so that could work too.
A lightweight Lotus might also be a good choice.
> Would the classic choice be a Mercedes-Benz?
If you want to play it safe, maybe a Mercedes-Benz.
Though I’m not sure I’d call it the sexiest option.
P.S.
> I was driving behind a Maserati that looked like it was about to stop while merging onto the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway. I thought I was going to die.
That sounds terrifying.
But I’ve seen cars stop while merging onto the expressway several times in the past, so I really wish they wouldn’t give licenses to people like that.
I can’t help wondering how long they think it will take to accelerate from a complete stop to the same speed as the cars in the travel lane.
If you’re driving a car with around 600 horsepower, maybe you could still merge after stopping thanks to its acceleration…
Once, I mentioned how scary it was when someone did that, and they replied, “If you don’t stop, won’t you crash?” I was stunned.
People like that have licenses too.
It also makes me think they probably couldn’t drive around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. There, the lanes entering and leaving the roundabout cross over one another, and you have to exit at the road you want to take. If you can’t smoothly slip into the gaps, you’re in trouble.
The first time I drove there, I remember thinking it was a pretty fascinating road.

It’s a real nuisance when someone with no sense of their car’s width drives a large luxury vehicle.
If you’re confident in your driving, I think you should choose a nice car.
That said, imported cars have been in short supply and difficult to get into Japan over the past two years, so you’d better decide soon. Even after signing a contract, shipments may be delayed, and when cars do become available, it can turn into a lottery—or a race to click “buy,” with the first person to pay in full winning.

It’s Joe.
Look, I can forgive most things, but while saying things like “kei cars and all that,” could you stop making fun of kei cars?
You probably don’t know this, young lady, but the reason you can go about your club activities with your brain switched off is thanks to kei cars. They’re a national treasure, you know. There’s only so far you can go with being this ignorant.
I recommend the 992 Carrera GTS. Definitely get the manual!

These days, a car that lets you leave both the accelerator and steering wheel alone is also an option.
Whether it’s Japanese or imported, they’re both incredibly comfortable—just touch the wheel every now and then and you’re good.
My favorite is still the first-generation SLK.
It’s a paper airplane.

Saving up your allowance for a luxury car...?
Wouldn’t an affordable Japanese car costing under ¥3 million be far more appealing to papas, while the money you save could be put toward beauty treatments or something?
Or are you asking because you hadn’t considered that? 😅
A sore loser.

I’m in Seattle.
I used to drive a Mercedes, but there were plenty of women who didn’t even know what kind of car it was. Same goes for me—there are probably a lot of men and women who aren’t interested in cars.
It’s not about how it looks; it’s about choosing a car you like. It’s your car, after all.
P.S. If I were buying a car now, I’d want one with Level 3 automated driving. I hate driving. I’d love to play smartphone games and answer questions on Q&A sites while the car drives.

Yesterday, I was driving behind a Maserati on the Shuto Expressway that looked like it was about to stop while merging, and I nearly had a heart attack.
A fairly attractive woman was driving it.
Regardless of the car, please try to drive more elegantly.

I’m Aya, a female member.
My papa drives a Mercedes-AMG coupe to work, and it’s such a solid, stylish car that I think it looks great with a woman behind the wheel too. But it costs around ¥16 million… definitely not a cute price.
