In these days of spiralling petrol costs, “mini”, “compact” and “economy” seem to trip off the tongue much more easily than “luxury” or “exotic”, but what rental car would you choose if fuel was free and money was no object and more importantly what does your choice say about you?
MSN Autos has done a little research into the subject and with the help of top psychologist Dr Leon James of the University of Hawaii, they’ve come up with a comprehensive guide to the most popular car-related stereotypes.

Mobile phones could be on planes sooner than you think, as communications watchdog Ofcom has just given the thumbs up to proposals.
Ofcom has licensed the use of mobiles on flights but has delivered a firm warning to passengers that they will be on the receiving end of unexpectedly high bills.
Opponents worry that passengers talking on phones will irritate others and cause cases of air rage. Ofcom also warned that security clearance for the use of phones would be required as they may be capable of detonating a bomb explosion.
Several airlines including Ryanair are anxious to allow customers to make calls and text in the air.
Even after the Ofcom ruling, the use of mobile phones on flights still requires approval from other organisations including the European Commission and the Civil Aviation Authority.
