According to Ford's latest commercials for Explorer/Expedition, it would be those cars. Seriously, they're playing the light R&B music, all black actors/actresses in the commercial; including the gorgeous, busy cop & construction worker that the slick, refined black man drives by in his shiny new Expedition.

You think I'm kidding, watch the damn commercial; its all there.

It's funny because Marketing works with playing race cards and stats. Yet on a message board it's inflammatory and offending.
 
I can think of a ton of cars I've never seen a black person driving.

Almost any classic American muscle car, sports car or really any classic car that wasn't a boat. Any older british sporty car, as already mentioned in this. I could probably go on forever really. But I don't honestly think it means anything either, I'm sure they drive all of the cars I mentioned or am thinking of - I simply haven't seen them.

I had a black neighbor who drove a Legend.


I've never seen a black person driving a Hummer... because the windows are always tinted and the bling from the spreewheels blind me.
 
The blacks in Baltimore city love driving Acura Legends and mid 90s accords. They put ****** ass Lanzar audio equipment and then proceed to tell me that since I am not black thats why I overspend on Focal. Then they proceed to pull out their platinum fronts and throw spit all over the ground.

Google Funkmaster Flex and look at his classic muscle cars, totally pimped out and so sweet.

Also, for those saying Jeep, LL Cool J backseat of my jeep anyone?

Can't really think any car off the top of my head.

Although I'm sure thats all true, I was speaking from personal experience and my own observations. As someone else said earlier in the thread, I don't watch MTV and I don't really spend that much time paying attention to what the celbrity people are doing, black or otherwise. Much less what cars their all driving.

Besides, black celebrities are going to represent 0.1% of what actual black people drive.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, my final statement here is probably totally incorrect. Being that black people seem a lot more prone to doing what seems popular in their culture, (not a bad thing) as long as they can afford it - they will probably all be doing exactly what their favorite Hip-hop / rap artist is doing. From the car he or she is driving to the cloths and shoes that artist wears. Hell the artists even make the cloths so you don't have to shop around.
