Celebrities and their cars

BMW M3 Convertible

Think you know your favorite celebrities? Well, here's a way to find out what they're really like. Just take a look at the cars they drive. That will tell you more about them than you would ever imagine!

We asked Dr. Charles Kenny, a psychologist, president of consumer psychology firm Kenny & Associates and a man who has interpreted consumer buying behavior for GM, Toyota and Nissan, to gives us his impression of several celebrities based on the cars they drive.

Porsche Convertible

1. Pam Anderson's black SUV: "That Pamela Anderson drives a black SUV shows that she's interested in a vehicle that's powerful, overwhelming and makes a strong statement. It's a statement that says, 'I'm powerful, and there are no limits to what I can do.'"

2. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer: "This is the essence of pure power. It's a super vehicle, the most powerful one on the road, for a superman type of thinker."

3. Cameron Diaz's 2002 Toyota Prius: "Somebody driving this wants to make a strong statement about her character. It's a unique type of vehicle. It says she's a friend of the earth type of person, who is obsessed with telling other people that she cares about the environment more than they do."

4. Eminem's 1999 Ford Mustang convertible with custom purple paint job (since sold): "This is a fun loving, sporty kinda guy who is very focused on how unique he is."

5. Britney Spears' Silver Porsche convertible: "This car says that she's a carefree spirit and that she's more complex than people give her credit for. Carefree on one hand and focused on precision engineering on the other."

6. Brad Pitt's 2002 Mercedes-Benz G500: "This car is the ultimate unique combination of power and luxury in one package. He's expressing the ultimate in masculinity and his social status at the same time."

7. Drew Barrymore's BMW M3 convertible: "This says, 'I'm a free spirit who wants to be in control all the time.'"

8. Ben Affleck's Aston Martin DB7: "It says that he's playing like James Bond in his off hours."

2007 SC430 Pebble Beach Edition (Lexus)

Lexus presents the 2007 SC430 Pebble Beach Edition hardtop convertible. Lexus has made yet another attempt on 'refreshing' the current Sc430 originally introduced more than five years ago.

Stunning. Unique. Timeless. Words that describe the beauty of Pebble Beach, as well as the automobile inspired by it. To commemorate our partnership with Pebble Beach Resorts, Lexus is pleased to present this year's SC Pebble Beach Edition in Starfire Pearl with a striking Pimento Red leather interior, evoking memories of some of the world's best-loved convertibles.

But this SC offers more than style: Up front, adaptive headlamps swivel to help improve visibility when approaching turns, while its engine monitors and adjusts intake valve timing for ideal performance in any driving conditions. And when the driving conditions are ideal, the hardtop roof can disappear into the trunk at a touch of a button.

The 2007 Lexus SC430 Pebble Beach Edition has hit the streets in September 2006. Only 400 vehicles were produced.
