Flirt in the fast lane – Matiz Flirt!

Traffic may be at a standstill this week but even if engines are idling, the pulses of millions of love-struck British motorists will be racing according to a new nationwide survey.

Traffic may be at a standstill this week but even if engines are idling, the pulses of millions of love-struck British motorists will be racing according to a new nationwide survey.

The survey, commissioned by GM Daewoo to celebrate the launch of their limited edition Matiz Flirt, found that while grid-locked roads seem set to inflict misery on millions of drivers, for the fast growing army of roadway Romeos and Juliets traffic jams are not so much a source of frustration but an opportunity for some light-hearted flirting.

The survey reveals that around half of all drivers take advantage of increasing highway hold ups to flirt with any road user who catches their eye and sets their engine racing.

" The Matiz is a cheeky little car that loves the city and we hope that the introduction of our limited edition Matiz Flirt will help these innocent but enjoyable roadside assignations become even more popular in the future – when it's safe to do so of course," said Rob Smettem, director of marketing and public affairs at GM Daewoo.
