In Dilbert, he drives a non-descript sedan.
Anyone want to guess which make fits him the best?

View Full Version : What Does Dilbert Drive? Chuck 10-05-2008, 12:10 PM In Dilbert, he drives a non-descript sedan. Anyone want to guess which make fits him the best? Chuck 10-05-2008, 12:44 PM When the strip started, my answer would have been an Accord, but that was over a decade ago and he works in the Silicon Valley so he likely traded it in for a Prius. I don't know what Scott Adams drives, but he works at home. ILAveo 10-05-2008, 12:55 PM I'm thinking that Dilbert is about things that are over-engineered and unreliable. So I'm thinking that his car would be European (VW?), but never runs so he mostly would drive a rental, lets say, Malibu.

So his ride is probably some mid 90's heap that is on the verge of breaking down. Being a computer tech, he has no aptitude for automotive mechanics, but is arrogant enough to think he can do it. ("I'm a computer geek, there's nothing I cannot do!") warthog1984 10-05-2008, 01:33 PM In the animated series, a GM EV1. In the strip, Insight/Prius. bomber991 10-05-2008, 01:35 PM I didn't see a Corolla/ Geo Prism, but thats probably what he drives. An old mid 90's one. Chuck 10-05-2008, 04:30 PM If I were Dilbert, I'd send Dogbert to the pound over this remark (http://mycarjudgesme.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/dilbert2004073470620.jpg). :p groar 10-05-2008, 06:01 PM I'm in computers, I'm aero-modding my car and generally I'm not able to do more complicated things than changing a bulb. This implies Dilbert also can do that. Dilbert implements my dreams. As I'm dreaming about a prius or a i-CTDI civic, Dilbert has one of them.

However, being an engineer I would think he would also choose the most practical/available car being either a corolla or civic. It's kind of a toss up really. I can see Dogbert constructing some kind of "hybrid of doom" as well. Skwyre7 10-06-2008, 01:31 PM I didn't see a Corolla/ Geo Prism, but thats probably what he drives. An old mid 90's one. I was also thinking a mid-late 90's Corolla. applemac*fit 10-07-2008, 10:31 AM OTHER - Chevrolet Lumina :) 99LeCouch 10-07-2008, 09:14 PM A Civic. Cheap to run, small-ish, and 4 doors. Pierce 10-10-2008, 11:48 AM The animated series depicts Dilbert driving an ELECTRIC-only car. As for the comic, the propulsion system isn't revealed. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
