Teens Prefer iPhone Over New Car, Whaaa?

Based on a report by CNW marketing research, 32% of the teenagers surveyed say that a new cellphone would impress their friends versus the 20% who chose a car. The percentage of teens who said a cellphone would make them “cool” shoots up to 70% when you ask them how they’d feel if cellie is an iPhone. Unsurprisingly, cars are also beat by footwear, video games, iPods, and computers. Seriously this is just ridiculous. If your friends are more impressed by a $500 phone than a $30,000 method of transportation, you need to make your way off the short bus.

Saying that an item will impress friends more =/= saying that one prefers the item

Egad, if the car of choice is a boxy clown-car like that, I’d think a teenager with taste would be more impressed with a new orthodontic retainer, or maybe a bitchin’ visible scar.

Yeah but they could always sell it right away after 30,000 for about 26,000 and buy a really nice used car and an Iphone, but I guess teenagers don’t tend to think like that.
