Olympic Survey Says a Lot about the Cars People Drive

NADAguides.com one of the world's leading automotive information resources on the Web, today announced the results of its Olympic Survey. The survey asked participants to select their favorite Olympic sport along with the vehicle they currently drive.

Of the respondents polled, the majority of consumers who drive light duty pick-up trucks and sports cars indicated they preferred men's downhill skiing to all other Olympic sports. The survey also found that the majority of passenger car drivers preferred women's figure skating above all other Olympic events. And an overwhelming majority of SUV owners indicated they preferred snowboarding to that of other sports at the Olympic games.

    Results follow:

    Type of Car Driven                  Preferred Olympic Sport

    1.  Light Duty Pick-up              1.  Downhill Skiing - Men's
    2.  Sports Car                      2.  Downhill Skiing - Men's
    3.  Passenger Car                   3.  Figure Skating - Women's
    4.  SUV                             4.  Snowboarding

Additionally, results of the survey revealed the top ten Olympic sports people prefer to watch. Of the ten that made the ``most popular'' list, the little-known sport entitled ``Skeleton'' ranked in the top 3. After making its debut in the 1928 Olympics and then appearing again in 1948, Skeleton all but disappeared from the Olympic event roster. This year, it makes its triumphant return to the Olympic games and, as indicated in the NADAguides.com survey, is one of the highly anticipated events to watch. Skeleton is similar to luge, however riders navigate the course while lying on their stomachs versus lying on their backs. The sport got its name based on the fact that the sled the rider uses resembles a skeleton.
