Part of being Smarter, Sharper Men is, if called upon, knowing the absolute right vehicle to steer your female counterparts toward. Within a nanosecond you have to be able to receive and pinpoint a myriad of factors to have an answer so velvety smooth roll off your tongue that she’ll swoon over you like you were Humphrey Bogart in a trench coat. Well, you want to be an awesome car-choosing, smooth-talking Humphrey Bogart in a trench coat don’t ya? Thought so. Here’s your cheat sheet:
Scenario 1:
Mid-30s, two-plus kids, does Zumba, recycles, and has a bit of a wild streak as evidenced by that frat party that no one is ever allowed to mention.
We recommend:
2014 Audi Q5 starting at $37,300
Halogen headlights, Panoramic sunroof, Audi MMI® Navigation plus with voice control system2 and Bang & Olufsen® Sound System with 14 speakers and 505 watts. It has enough room for the kids and enough cool for the mom.
Scenario 2:
She thinks of granola as an indulgence, Instagrams photos of her abs after workouts, despises gluten, goes to the DMA more than twice a year, and her father contributes more to SMU than you make in a year.
We recommend:
2014 CTS Sport Sedan starting at $45,100
A 3.6L V6 RWD and twin turbo v6 plus 50/50 weight distribution, exotic wood, anodized aluminum or carbon fiber interior. Classy enough to hold her boutique bags but still has the feistiness to cater to her competitive side.

Scenario 3:
The anti-prom queen, she has tattoos in places not fit for conversation, she wears leather jackets in the summer, and your mother warned you about girls like her.
We recommend:
2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 starting at $54,800 (though she’ll probably steal it)
5.8L DOHC 32-valve V8 engine, 662 horsepower, TREMEC® 6-speed manual transmission, and just the right amount of wrong to let it still be right.
