Canadians looking to impress on their next romantic date might want to stay clear of on-demand car services, taxis or even public transit, according to the findings of a recent autoTRADER.ca survey that explores the role of the automobile in modern-day dating. In fact, a whopping 92 percent of Canadians say they find it appealing when their date shows up with their own ride. And don't even think about "borrowing the car" for the occasion – close to half of the population surveyed (48 percent) reported that they would find a borrowed vehicle unattractive or "embarrassing beyond words."
While it is unsurprising a publication called Autotrader would find car ownership is necessary for romance, do the study's claims track? Do today's humans really prefer being picked up for a date by someone who owns a car? Is being picked up on a motorcycle really the least attractive?

The law of headlines says: no.
It's "Betteridge's law of headlines." Note that Betteridge himself broke that law on more than one occasion.
But You're right not only about culture, but age and location. Live in LA? No car, no date. New York? As Yogi would have said, Nobody drives because the streets are too congested.
Someone my age? Car needed. Millineal? They're not impressed by automobiles.
