Lamborghini against Kia - an unequal duel?
Apparently not anymore when it comes to the topic of dream cars.
Because preferences seem to be shifting.
Ferrari!
Porsche!
Lamborghini!
If you used to ask car drivers and anyone who wants to be one about their dream car, the names of classic sports car brands came up.
The Porsche 911 is also a particularly popular model as a used car.
Some expensive exotics like the Bugatti Chiron are even copied by their fans.

But there may now be signs of a turning point – triggered by electrification.
At least that's what the online spare parts dealer Autodoc claims to have found out.
He determined the desirability of car brands and models based on inquiries on the Internet.
The result: among the dream cars of the Germans, sports cars are losing importance.
Dream cars of the Germans: electric cars in front
There are neither a Porsche 911 nor a Lamborghini Huracán in the group of ten, and you won't find the former favorite Ford Mustang there either.
Instead, e-cars, SUVs and family vehicles now dominate interest: the Tesla Model 3 ranks at the top with 2.7 million inquiries, flanked by other e-mobiles such as the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 (here tested by Matthias Malmedie).
These are the top ten car models (source: Autodoc):

A similar picture emerges when ranking by brands.
Here, however, classic dream car manufacturers also make it into the top ten, while Tesla is missing: Apparently, they are mainly looking for specific models there.

To what extent they actually "googled" their dream cars or searched for more sober information about buying a car can hardly be determined
