It turns out, somebody really went out and got an answer to this question as 1,000 Premier League Football (Soccer) fans spoke out in favor of their beloved club.
Europcar asked fans “if your team was a type of car, what sort would it be?” and only Arsenal and Manchester United fans answered with ‘supercar‘, at 27% and 32% respectively.
OK, now that we’re diving into this issue, we have to wonder why just Man UTD and Arsenal fans would think that way about their club. Chelsea and Manchester City fans (two teams that have performed better than United and Arsenal lately) thought of their clubs as being ‘sports cars’ – as did Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Swansea, Stoke and QPR fans.
If we were to be fair, we don’t think any team other than the very best in the Premier League would deserve to be associated with the term ‘supercar’. Arsenal is definitely more of a sports car, at least it has been for the past couple of years.
What’s surprising is the fact that 17% of Newcastle United fans have likened their team with a ‘City run-around’ car which could be anything from a little Peugeot to a Skoda Fabia. We wonder why they did that, since Newcastle is a middle of the pack team which always seems to challenge for a 5-8 spot. Well, except this year.
Ken McCall, Europcar UK Group Managing Director said that “It’s intriguing to see the different car types to which football fans liken their clubs. But whichever type they choose, there’s plenty of choice of the complete range of car makes and models at Europcar for any fans wanting to emulate their team.”
So what do you guys think? What type of car would your favorite team be?
