Not sure if you knew but today is “National Name Your Car Day.” Did you know that 40 percent of drivers claim to name their vehicles? In honor of the annual holiday, Capital One commissioned a survey on behalf of the GM BuyPower Card revealing a variety of fun ways car owners emotionally connect with their vehicle, including:

  • Gender Reveal: 74% of drivers say their car has a gender, with 53%  identifying it as female
  • Heavens to Betsy: Compared to the 2018 Capital One survey, for the second year in a row, Betsy was the most popular car name
  • From the Red Carpet: The greatest inspiration for car names is from a TV or Movie character (19%) or a friend or family member (13%)
  • Female Influence: Women are more likely to name their car than men (56 to 44%)

The survey also highlights many interesting car-buying practices for Americans, most notably their tendency to plan ahead for this big purchase. The GM BuyPower Card already allows cardmembers to accumulate 5% Earnings on their first $5,000 in purchases every year, with 2% unlimited Earnings on purchases after that towards the purchase of a new GM vehicle. Capital One and GM also recently announced that cardmembers can now use their Earnings to get statement credits up to $250 for qualifying purchases on most OnStar and Connected Services plans, SiriusXM subscriptions, customer-paid Certified Service, and parts and accessories purchased at authorized GM dealerships.
