What drives candidates like Ralph Nader ?

Nader's car is certainly not a Corvair, or a big gas guzzler like the 14 mpg FlexFuel 2007 Tahoe vehicle that candidate Mike Huckabee drives. This is according to a poll of candidates posed in next month's issue of Motor Trend magazine.

"What kind of car does the candidate drive?" wasn't even the question posed to the staff member for Rudy Giuliani, whose answer was 'doesn't believe he does.' Not exactly your average Joe, Giuliani probably wouldn't even own a car unless for investment purposes. Although he certainly isn't a public transportation kind of guy either, it is hard to imagine Hizzoner the Mayor behind the wheel of anything not driven by a personal chauffeur.

Barack Obama drives a car from U.S. automaker Chrysler, although the aide couldn't say whether Obama's Chrysler 300 was one of those sweet 300C hemi models or not. The Ford Escape Hybrid twice made the list of cars driven by the presidential hopefuls. Christopher Dodd and John Edwards both have a lot more time now to go for an eco-friendlier ride.

Fred Thompson rounded out the questionaire with his Volvo SUV, John McCain's ride is the 15mpg Cadillac CTS, while the car that Ron Paul drives gets just as far on a gallon of gas with his big Texas Lincoln Town car. Can you guess the name of the candidate who drives a 1960's era Rambler if we remind you that former presidential hopeful George Romney was the 1962 Chairman of American Motors?

If you answered 'self made businessman Mitt Romney' you got the name correct but your answer is, of course, only half right.
