^ I'm reaoniably content with everything and therefore dont wish to risk offending others by having any personality in my facial expression, that being said I am very pretty.

(You might not get that one, but if you saw a "murdered out" Hammerite black one with the headlight bezels removed, you definitely would...)

This should help a little bit:

December 9, 2008 Vital Signs Perceptions: Putting a Face Value on Cars By ERIC NAGOURNEY

Some may look at the front of a car and see nothing but a collection of parts. But for many others, it seems, those headlights are eyes, that grill a nose and the air-intake slots a mouth.

Not only that, according to a study in the December issue of Human Nature, people who were shown pictures of cars attributed personalities to them — describing them as adult or childlike, masculine or feminine, and dominant or submissive. And most agreed with one another on the assessments.

“Thus,” the researchers wrote, “there must be some kind of consistent information that is being perceived in car fronts.”

The researchers, led by Sonja Windhager of the University of Vienna, said that seeing faces in cars was in keeping with the human tendency to anthropomorphize. It may be borne not out of romanticism but from the evolutionary need to survive.

A co-author of the study, Dennis E. Slice of Florida State University, said that people needed to be able to read faces quickly, and that this might lead them to see faces where none exist.

For the study, researchers asked 40 people to look at the pictures of cars. More than 60 percent said they could see a face in at least 70 percent of them. They also agreed on their preferences.

“People seem to like mature, dominant, masculine, arrogant, angry-looking cars,” the study said.
