Would you ditch your girlfriend for a car?

Carmudi finds out why men are willing to ditch their girlfriend for a car this Valentine’s Day!

We consider our vehicle to be the second most important thing in our lives, primarily because of its functionality in every aspect of our daily routine. Whether is it a Japanese or American branded car, we always put a value on it, and some men have even gone as far as saying that they would trade their girlfriends in for a shiny new motor.

In fact, some men are willing to ditch their girlfriends for two reasons. One, a car is easier to maintain than a girlfriend; and two, unlike their girlfriends, a car won’t talk. Armed with these ridiculous reasons, Carmudi, the most convenient way to buy and sell cars online, has conducted an extensive survey across Asia, Africa and the Middle East to find out what types of cars men are willing to ditch their girlfriends for. In the Philippines, a country known for being conservative when it comes to relationships, a surprising 62 out of 100 men stated that they would leave their beloved for the red beauty that is the Ferrari.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s check out how men will abandon their love in the name of a cool and well-dressed car. The results are absolutely astounding. Take a look!

BMW 3 Series (Worth $33,900)

Wheels over heels: 40 out of 100 men in Bangladesh would easily ditch their girlfriend for a BMW-3 series, while 38 out of 100 men in the Philippines would do the same thing. Only 5% of men in Sri Lanka would do such a thing.

Their reasons: (Love wrecking motives of men)

  • I prefer the BMW as it is probably smarter and a much bigger social status symbol.
  • The 3-series will catch the attention of lots of girls - Lose one, win a lot more!
  • The car is sexy enough to seduce me.
  • The 3-series car is a babe magnet!

Their reason: (Love wrecking motives of men)

  • It's easier to find a girlfriend than getting a car!
  • The CR-V is probably a lot less complicated compared to a girl.
  • The CR-V will make me look more handsome! And girls will come after it.
  • Luxurious, affordable, and way more convenient to have than my girlfriend.

Toyota Corolla ($17,725)

  • Unlike a girl, a Corolla is efficient and reliable!

  • The Corolla would be easier to handle than my girlfriend.
  • It's probably cheaper to have than my girlfriend.

Meanwhile, only a shocking 8% of men in Tanzania would ditch their girlfriend for the beautiful Ferrari.

Their reason: (Love wrecking motives of men)

  • A Ferrari has a higher value than any girl.
  • I can get a million other girlfriends with the Ferrari!
  • The Ferrari is such a beautiful car and unlike a girl, it can't talk!
  • I would gladly leave my girlfriend for a Ferrari!
