So many cars are such jerks. They\u2019re overly concerned with their rims, they make promises they can\u2019t keep, and just when you you need a favor, they\u2019re suddenly out of gas. But not these cars of the Midwest. <\/span><\/p>\n

This summer, whether you\u2019re off to your favorite lake or on the hunt for the best funnel cake in the county, check out these midwestern rides. Their bodies are sculpted by serious seasons, they don\u2019t mind a long journey, and it\u2019s always a smooth ride. They\u2019re total gentlemen, but they still know how to jazz it up and have fun \u2014 don\u2019t even think about calling them boring, that’s just not polite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth\u2019s Saab 9-3 2011<\/span><\/h3>\n

With his broad Nordic features and excellent handling, this car is handsome and reliable. Want to make sure you\u2019re taken seriously at the family reunion? Looking for someone who sends flowers to both his mom and yours? These leather seats are calling your name.<\/span><\/p>\n

David\u2019s Nissan Xterra 2008<\/span><\/h3>\n

He likes to be put to work. You know the type. So get a list together and take him around town. He\u2019s more than happy to carry you and your keg of beer, or the four chairs you might need for your apartment, or all of the new friends you just made at the block party, to the beach or just down the street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felipe\u2019s Chevy Corvette 2010<\/h3>\n

Okay, so this guy\u2019s a little fancy, and we admit he could learn to wear a pair of jeans, but who doesn\u2019t like to be impressed a little? Wherever you roll in this showstopper, you\u2019ll have the pleasure of knowing that you can go 0-60 in under five seconds, even if you would never show off like that, not in front of people you know anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vince\u2019s Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 2007<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking to be pampered, this is the car for you. Yes, he does have a bad habit of speaking about himself in the third person, but he\u2019s got surprisingly soft hands, knows all the classiest joints in St. Louis, and carries a cigar in his breast pocket for special occasions \u2014 which happen every day for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alper\u2019s Chevrolet Camaro 2015<\/span><\/h3>\n

Check out the jawline on this handsome beast. He\u2019d rather be growling through the streets, tossing a pigskin, or hunting in the woods than cooped up at home. But he\u2019s got a gentle side too and very sensitive handling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shahid\u2019s Nissan Altima 2015<\/span><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve always considered the boy next door, and now he\u2019s conveniently available. You can take him anywhere and he\u2019ll engage in non-awkward conversations with everyone from your nearly deaf great-aunt Louise to the hyperactive kid in front of the 7-11. Plus, he\u2019s quick on the highway without guzzling gas, not like some cars you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alok\u2019s Alfa Romeo 4C 2016<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m sorry, did you ask for an Italian Stallion? Oh good, because that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019re getting. This is the mean, lean, playboy of your dreams. He takes curves with ease and maintains high performance standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve\u2019s Jaguar XK 2010<\/span><\/h3>\n

This car is all pomp and circumstance. Even though he was raised in Michigan, he still takes his tea promptly at four and has biscuits shipped from Fortnum & Mason. But lest you think him an English snob, he\u2019d like you to know that he loves to tailgate Lions games and looks great in an apron.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashish\u2019s Tesla Model X 2016<\/span><\/h3>\n

With eye-catching good looks and all that power, you might as well be driving Captain Kirk. Packed full of out-of-this-world gadgets, like 257 miles per charge, a roof fit for stargazing, gull-wing doors, and seating for seven, you can take your whole crew far beyond this galaxy, and then back home in time for dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kirk\u2019s Honda Accord 1996<\/span><\/h3>\n

He\u2019s upgraded all of his gear, but he\u2019s just a nostalgic 90s dude. His email address is at AOL, he has a mushroom cut, and since he plays guitar in his friend\u2019s band, he used to get invited to Prince\u2019s little get-togethers. He still wants to know exactly what it sounds like when doves cry.<\/span><\/p>\n
