People Love Angry-Faced Cars

According to Jeremy Hsu, Staff Writer with Livescience.com, people "readily see faces and traits in cars, and a new study suggests that they prefer cars to appear dominant, masculine and angry"

I see a smile on the front of my smart - guess people will never wait in line for one!!

I had to point out the smile on the smart to my wife and you can only really see it if the area around the grill is in contrast from the main color

Cops love angry faced cars, too. Why do you think they are going for the Dodge Charger as their new police crusier?

Ours are switching to impalas.

all my little small town has right now are Impalas, and a Durango for C.S.I., and Trailblazer for K-9. We only have maybe 9 Impalas in our department, 1 Trailblazer and one Durango

We have one Viper. Drug bust confiscation.
No, that's not the only police vehicle in town.

Perhaps one could say it is an evil smile?

What I love about the Dodge Charger AS A POLICE CAR (I don't like it any other way.. I've driven the civilian version of the Dodge Charger and hated it), but as a police car, what I love about is its looks. Criminals are less apt to run from the police when they turn on their pretty blue lights... because the Charger itself ALREADY LOOKS PISSED OFF. It's enough to scare you into pulling over right away.. in my humble opinion.

I'm glad I just got a new Ford Crown Vic. I hate the Dodge Coronet...er, Charger. There is just something wrong with a 4-door family sedan being called a Charger.
