BMW is the most popular car driven by CEO’s in a survey of 3000 people. This accounted for 13% of the total. This was followed by Ford at 7 percent and Lexus at 5 percent, the survey found. A separate USA Today survey of 90 CEO’s found 13 percent drove a BMW, 12 percent Mercedes, and 10 percent Toyota.And whats more, if you are a CEO, do you realize that 90% of your employees know what kind of car you drive? But guess what? “Of all the products in the world, cars are the most reliable representation of an individual’s personality,” Golden Gate University psychology Chairwoman Kit Yarrow told USA Today.Some CEOs drive hybrids to be “green,” the survey found. Others favor older cars to show they can make the most from available resources. Still others want expensive and fast cars because they can afford them and won’t settle for less.Wal-Mart Stores Inc. founder Sam Walton drove a pickup truck. Billionaire Warren Buffett drove a silver 2001 Lincoln Town Car with Nebraska plates THRIFTY until he auctioned it for charity on eBay last year. Southwest Airlines Co. CEO Gary Kelly drives a 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera he bought used last year. Jimmy Wales, founder of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, drives a 2004 Hyundai Accent. Wales says his cell phone defines him more than his car. I don’t know, but I’ll bet he has one of those new Apple Iphones…

Personally, I think Car Wheels is what defines the man!
