A Car For Every Perusasion

There's certainly a wide-ranging variety of different cars
  From the Model T to the Tesla -- no longer wildly popular

People want choices to match their lifestyles and moods
  Manufacturers want trustworthy cars that can 'deliver the goods'
    Reliable rides -- solid, unspectacular engines under their hoods

Rich sports stars tend to go for muscle cars and speed
  Jaguars, Porsches, Ferraris; Dodges, Pontiacs, and AMCs

Famous celebrities, of course, crave the ultimate in luxury
  Rolls Royces, Mercedes, Lincoln Town Cars, and Bentleys

Nerds and computer geeks worship the ways of the Japanese
  They drool over Hondas, Toyotas, Mazdas, even Mitsubishis

Which brings us to the environmentalists, willing to pay a bit more
  For hybrids, electric cars, even ones that run on cooking oil and Indian lore

But I've saved the final two lines for a new car so incredibly smart
  That without any driver, it appeals to cutting-edge intellectuals
                     ~ and fearless hearts

Ha! Great one, Kim! Now the burning question is: Will your Toyota run on pizza?! Maybe you'll get a hybrid Toyota that runs on pizza and beer. LOL. I love it when comments (like yours) are better than the poem being commented on. Appreciate the laughter. :) gw

It will be a very interesting future once driverless cars take over the roads. I wonder how many people will keep driving? Have a great day my friend.
