Well, trust the Brits. to come up with a test like this, but now we know what type of car to buy if we want to attract or repel others.
A couple of teasers:
1) the Maserati soundtrack caused the biggest jump in testosterone levels from each and every woman tested.
2) of men ... 60 per cent had increased testosterone levels after hearing the Lamborghini soundtrack.
3) the sound of an average car engine can actually decrease the level of testosterone, as evidenced by the inclusion of the VW Polo.
(Unfortunately, they didn't test the Pantera, but seeing as deTomaso and Maserati share so much history I'd say that's the end of the spectrum where we drive.)
My advice - don't let your significant other read this article, or you'll be driving a minivan for the rest of your life!
