I've always been wondering what kinda cars she likes.
But I know she likes cars, because in L'alizé she drives the Lotus Esprit at 1000 kph and in J'en ai Marre she's fed up with people that drive too slow.
ok I know that wasn't a very informative thread but I had to post it.
maybe someone should delete it?
She loves '71 Hemi Cuda !

I thought we had this talk already and afrenchie said that in france girls dont own sportscars(or something like that) to cybersoil. but i would think it would be hot if she drives a black nsx or black S2000 or black M3. O and just for the hell of it my favorite car is mitsubishi evo 8 mr FQ400

Not exactly :)
I said that there aren't that "car cult" that exists in the USA in France, neither in most of Europe, and for that very reason, women in particular were very rarely interested in sport cars. Also a bit for a better "preservation" of their femininity ;). Of course, it didn't mean in any way that no woman will be fond of sport cars and won't buy one. It's just way way rarer than in the USA...

A friend of mine who lives in Paris once told me that he seen Alizee in a black sports car. I don't remember which kind but it was a Farrari or Lamborgini or something like that.
Well, sitting in some car doesn't exactly mean you like it. It's just transportation device after all.
I have been in my neighbor's Lamborghini Countach, too, and I still don't like it.
As well you might mention any of the other cars she's been into. Like the black Mercedes, the dark Renault, or any other of the several cars she's been in...
Since she doesn't have drivers licence and own car, it's pretty much impossible to say which car she likes.
Only time she has mentioned her taste of car is in one interview where she has to choose between two cars. She chooses Jeep. (that other was ummm... I don't know... Maybe some Renault ? )
edit:
Ok, the choices were actually Jeep, Jaguar and Fiat 500. And she chose, like said, Jeep.

It's not about money. It's about need of car. And as far as we know, she doesn't have driver license (tho, it's not impossible that she has it nowadays). Maybe someday we get new information that proves it wrong.
I don't have car either, even if I have money to buy one (I do have driver license, tho...). Not even scooter.
rmj this was more of a fantasy thread
Well... Read my first post on this thread. :blink:
The point was just that seeing Alizée in some car doesn't make it her favorite car, or doesn't make it her car.

So far my humble opinion (which doesn't mean that I don't like to look at a Ferrari or would like to take one for a drive, although I most certainly wouldn't ever want to own one).
Greetings, Simon

So... Basically 35 years old '71 Hemi Cuda beats them both. :blink:
It has 425 hp in stock version. Not tweaked, not supercharged... Actually, little tweaking were done to reduce it's power... It was necessary to do s for juridical reasons.
With simply fine tuning it's ignition, the power increases above 500 hp.
But as you might now... it's not just about the power in motor that matters... :blink:

yeah but rmj it gets like what 5 miles to the gallon and not to mention its suspension isn't the greatest even for it's time. even still hearing any powerful engine idle and then rev is incredible
Well, who cares ? You were comparing just the horse powers. :p
Hell yeah I know it's nothing in nowadays standards. It couldn't beat any modern car with half the HP if they'd race. It's 35 ears old for fucks sake. Even the best race cars from 70s had no chance against modern stock car. And Cuda was built to be muscle car. And nothing else. It has one of the most powerful car engine every build and that was the point of the car. Everything else, such as maneuverability and suspension was just secondary things...
It was built to offer raw power.
And that it did...

Since she doesn't have drivers licence and own car, it's pretty much impossible to say which car she likes.
You'd think that she would have gotten a license by now. How important is getting a drivers license in Europe? Then again, you don't really need one when you can just get yourself a driver.
edit:
Ok, the choices were actually Jeep, Jaguar and Fiat 500. And she chose, like said, Jeep.
Just proves that the "Jeep Theory" works! :D
You'd think that she would have gotten a license by now. How important is getting a drivers license in Europe?
We have decent masstransportation systems here. Short distances. And most people are capable of using feet an bicycle if needed. So, no need for cars.
Especially if you live in the city. On country side it may be useful since there's the distances are bigger.
I know plenty of people who don't have license only because they never bothered to get it.
Though she may have picked up a driving mentality in Corsica. You absolutely need a car there, and pretty much everyone has one.
Why need ?
Maybe if you'd live outside city. But if you live in Ajaccio, then why the need for car ?
Spartan500
11-21-2006, 12:03 PM
cause cars are awesome and they look cool well maybe half of them look cool lol
Why need ?
Maybe if you'd live outside city. But if you live in Ajaccio, then why the need for car ?
As nice as Ajaccio is, it's still fairly small, so you can't spend all your time there. Besides, from what we've seen in clips like Passengers, she does appear to have lived outside downtown proper, perhaps along the Route des Sanguinaires. You can sail into town from there, but point is that if you live in Corsica, sooner or later you'll need or want to travel inland, and for that you'll have to have an auto. The public transpiration is infamously poor and confusing, with only one rickety train line, and different companies running each bus route. So it's car country, everyone has one. Hence why I say she may have picked up that mentality.
Well, maybe she would need if she'd live outside the town. But even going inland doesn't mean you need to have a car. You can always ask some friend.
Beside, she lives in Paris now. :p
Most people here has car, too. But you can easily survive without one. Me for example, I got no plans to get one.
Right, but I wasn't saying she has to have one. The fact is that Corsica is a heavily car owning society, moreso than much of Europe, because the need for one is fairly high. So that lifestyle/philosophy may have rubbed off on her.
Well, it still doesn't mean that she needs to have even drivers license. I won't believe it before I see her driving a car or scan of her license. :)
But yea, we really don't know if she has license or not. Maybe we'll find that out in forthcoming interviews. :)
Well, it still doesn't mean that she needs to have even drivers license. I won't believe it before I see her driving a car or scan of her license. :)
Or one could say they won't believe that she doesn't drive until they know for sure. But again, I wasn't trying to say that. I was just saying that if we're gonna look at the attitude of the French/Europeans toward cars as we were on the previous pages, then it's important to note that Alizée comes from a place that's a bit of an exception.

I'm actually surprised you're still reiterating this. I think most of us understood what you were saying, but RMJ, in his usual style, wants to argue with you about it. I think that's what makes him interesting, he'll argue anything for long periods of time for seemingly no reason. ;p
Oh, and the fact that he seems to know everything there is to know about Alizée, but who here is interested in that, anyway? ;p
Oh believe me, maareek, I know RMJ's style. :cool:
Which is why I can't let him have the last word when I'm so right. :p

Well, I don't see it that different. Like said, here basically everyone has car, too, but still some decides not to get one because it's not something you need to survive in your life. You can look us too as an exception: one of the biggest country in europe with one of the lowest population. That means that distances becomes huge and one might consider car to be the only way to survive in this urban jungle. But it isn't so.
So, you really can't assume her to fancy cars because she just happened to be born on Corsica. Maybe there's no gasoline on her veins after all.
And what comes to that proving that she does not drive... Well... It's just silly. :p If no-one has seen her driving, ain't that quite clear evidence of her not to drive ? :blink: Atleast it's highly more likely that she doesn't drive since seeing her not driving is highly more common than seeing her driving.
But who knows... Maybe she has license nowadays... She had few years vacation so she have had time to take the lessons. Atleast if she did it before child's birth.

So, you really can't assume her to fancy cars because she just happened to be born on Corsica.
I didn't. I said it could have. Or could not. We don't know.
RMJ, if Finland is another exception, then it's not a good example. Sir Wood was asking about Europe so he'd have an idea about the environment Alizée's in, and earlier aFrenchie was talking about the attitudes in France. So it's important to note that Corsica is different. How much weight you want to put on that fact is up to you. I never specified.
If no-one has seen her driving, ain't that quite clear evidence of her not to drive ? :blink:
No. It's only natural not to see someone driving as much. Most people spend more time walking, you're moving fast when driving, and for all we know she could have a car with tinted windows. Again, I don't think so myself, but your argument doesn't work.
But who knows... Maybe she has license nowadays... She had few years vacation so she have had time to take the lessons. Atleast if she did it before child's birth.
There was a rumor awhile back, late 2004 or early 2005 I think, saying exactly that. No way to know if it's true, of course, but then again no way to know if it isn't
Pfft... He won me last night... but only because he tricked me to say something against myself !
I wasn't trying to trick you. You honestly did that to yourself. Maybe because I was right again. :p

Yea, but exception is exception. :)
But true, not whole Europe works the same way. But even if Corsica is an exception, she can be exception, too. Like said, you can't assume her having license because of her living location. There's much more unknown factors in that.

Yeah, but you see if she drives even half regulary someone would see her someday. Maybe that day is coming in future but well... till then... we don't know...
And I don't know why tinted glasses would be relevant since you couldn't tint the front glasses anyways. So, that's just silly argument. :p

Yeah, but it's just as valid as the arguments we were making to the opposite effect (that she probably doesn't drive because that's just not something people do).
Yeah, but you see if she drives even half regularly someone would see her someday.
Given how little we see her period, it doesn't surprise me that we haven't yet.

True. But when we see her, she's always walking. :)

Still illegal in most of the Europe, I believe.
Front glasses can be darkened only few percents. Too little to prevent anyway seeing into car.
Well, the truth won. I just happened to be on the same team.

11-21-2006, 02:35 PM
and earlier aFrenchie was talking about the attitudes in France.
Let me be more precise on what I said about cars in France. When I said that we don't have that "car cult" here didn't mean that you'll find lots of people without a car. Far from it! It's just about the passion of having a big car, or a sportcar, or expensive fancy car, etc...
It's more like a tool here, like just a fridge or a mower. And nothing more. But absolutely everybody, with very rare exception, has a car right after 18-19 years old, when you get the license.
On that subject, I forgot to reply to this the other day:
I would mostly like to see her in a normal day-to-day car so that I know that she's still the down to earth girl that knew how to handle her succes instead of some idiotic pimped-up babe in a much-too fast and much-too-expensive sportscar that you can't even use to carry your groceries home.
So far my humble opinion (which doesn't mean that I don't like to look at a Ferrari or would like to take one for a drive, although I most certainly wouldn't ever want to own one).
I wanted to say that it's also exactly the feeling about cars in France.
There even was a mockery proverb (that applied to men only of course) that said: "big car, tiny [you-guess-what]" :D. Of course, I must not exaggerate either, and you'll find lots of big cars everywhere anyway...
Well, technically you didn't say it out loud but that's what you thought. And thought counts.
I didn't think that. :blink:
"big car, tiny [you-guess-what]"
Tiny gear stick ?
Because I think you are right... And I wonder what's that about... Like all the expensive cars has so tiny gear stick it's hard to handle ! :blink: I remember the days when we had Lada and it had huge gear stick to grab on. And it was very solid, no fear that it would broke or anything.
I didn't think that. :blink:
Yea, easy to say now ! But you didn't write it down that you didn't thought it so there's no way to prove that you didn't think of it.

11-21-2006, 02:46 PM

And no way to prove that I did. But I did then write the thing about the truth, so better quit now cause me and the truth, we're tight.
EDIT: And now I gotta go to dinner before the restaurants close, so ciao.
No :). Remember, it applies to men only ;)
Tiny wallet ?
That's true, too. Most of men does have tiny. Like one that fits only credit card or so. They don't like carry coins and stuff in it.
And no way to prove that I did. But I did then write the thing about the truth, so better quit now cause me and the truth, we're tight.
Well, there's no way to prove that she has license either... So, you saying that you didn't think what I said is about as relevant as saying that she might have a license. Pretty much speculating both, I think.
And remember that the truth is out there !
Have a nice dinner... and take photo if you see Alizée driving a car !

I guess I would fall under this category. I'm still driving my '95 Escort. Even though I've the money to buy a new car and often think of doing just that, I continue to put money down for car repairs/maintenance.
