Default BMW owners twice as likely to?

Article:

BMW owners twice as likely to be adulterers as drivers of other brands

The cars most driven by cheating husbands

Ouch. Thought you should know.

It makes perfect sense. Think about it. Porcshe owers typicaly aren't married men but young singles and the car screams I'm young and not married. On the other end of the iconic lux car market you have the benz, it says stable conservitive. The bmw is the, I want fast and sporty but need a car that's respectful and family friendly. And it can do both very well. I guess I should read the artical before I comment to much. but I get it.
