Celebrity Endorsement - When Will We Have Celebrity Cars?

Elizabeth Taylor's 'White Diamond' Perfume gave a boost to the fragrance industry to the tune of $1 billion dollars and transformed the market forever.
 
Now, with car manufacturers finding it hard to get the attention of car buyers, WeLoveAnyCar.com asks - "could it be time to introduce celebrity cars?" - and suggests 10 'tongue in cheek' car brands.
 

Top 10 Celebrity Car Brands

  • Lady Gaga - 'Gaga GoGo' - advanced 4x4 sports utility
  • Steven Spielberg - 'Jaws Wagon' - very large pickup truck    
  • Justin Bieber - 'Bieber Bug' - small, cheap car
  • One Direction - 'Directioner' - sat nav assisted super mini
  • Dame Judi Dench - 'Dame Ler' - luxury well appointed saloon
  • Elton John - 'Rocket' - flash, fast, appeal to older drivers
  • Simon Cowell - 'X Car' - very popular, mass market crowd pleaser
  • Gwyneth Paltrow - 'The Palt-Eco' - electric powered city car
  • Brad Pitt - 'Pitt Bus' - Large, well styled, MPV, great for big families
  • Oprah Winfrey - 'The Winfrey Bago' - top price motor home   
 
Victoria Beckham unveils her Range Rover Evoque in Beijing
Victoria Beckham was reported by the Daily Mail as having styled the Land-Rover Evoque. It is thought this collaboration would appeal to brand conscious Chinese buyers. This move is bound to be watched carefully by the World's major car brands who will adopt any successful formula to sell more cars.
 
WeLoveAnyCar.com spokesman, the UK's biggest car review site with 108,800 car reviews, said, "Today there are few 'bad' cars, just different cars that suit different people. Although we've had some fun thinking of potential cars, it can't be long before more manufacturers ask celebrities - who appeal to a particular target market - to get involved in the styling and presentation of a car rather than just endorse it."
 
 
Elizabeth Taylor became even richer, as did the perfume company, by becoming involved intimately in the product and the promotion based on her brand and her image. Today the perfume industry has much higher sales and over 25% of all perfume sold is the product of a celebrity collaboration.
 
The WeLoveAnyCar.com Facebook page is open for suggestions on celebrity inspired car models and brands.

Top 10 Most Expensive Cars For a Billionaire’s Christmas


WeLoveAnyCar.com launches site for top earners to find the top ten cars by price – just in time for Christmas stocking fillers.

 
Whilst most people stuff their stocking with cheap fillers in the last days of Christmas, there’s still time for billionaires to do the same – by buying a super car at unbelievable prices. 
 
WeLoveAnyCar.com has launched a site to help all motorists find the best car for them by price. The most expensive currently available to the public is the Ferrari Berlinetta for just £238,232
Ferrari FF £226,982 - 5th On The List
 
 
 
 
The 10 Most Expensive Cars
 
1    Ferrari F12 Berlinetta £238,232
2    Bentley Mulsanne 6.8 V8 Mulliner £237,710
3    Rolls-Royce Ghost £231,980
4    Rolls-Royce Wraith £228,800
5    Ferrari FF £226,982
6    Ferrari 458 Spider £198,835
7    Aston Martin Vanquish £192,990
8    Aston Martin DBS V12 Volante £191,699

10    Mercedes-Benz SLS 63 £175,865
 
You Could Buy 363 Dacia Sanderos for 10 Top Ten Supercars
 
 
 
 
 
The list is an exclusive club of its own with three types of Ferrari, two Rolls Royces, two Aston Martins followed by a Bentley, Lamborghini and a top of the range Mercedes SLS. The total cost for all 10 – over £2 million.
 
The cheapest car found was a Dacia Sandero at £5,815. That means for the price of 10 supercars you could get over 363 Dacia’s - almost one for every day of the year.
 
The WeLoveAnyCar.com new car site can also be searched by MPG – perhaps more important to people on a slightly more restricted budget. The little Alfa Romeo Mito claims an astounding 97.4 MPG (extra urban) compared to a Bentley Mulsanne at 24 MPG.
 
A spokesman for the Manchester based site said, “We found it astounding that there isn’t one site that allows prospective buyers to look at all these factors and compare price and MPG. We also add ratings by over 108,000 drivers so they can look at comfort, reliability and other key factors which are important to a motorist and their pocket!”
 
Now that Christmas is close it remains to be seen if even a billionaire can get the car he wants. At least for the year ahead, where car pundits say new car sales will rise on the back of a better economy, prospective car buyers have the means to choose the best car for their needs.
