Which kind of car matches your Chinese zodiac?

The Chinese zodiac is a big part of Chinese culture, and their signs have been used for over 2000 years as a way of dating years in a 12-year cycle of the Chinese calendar. The zodiac is calculated by a cycle of sixty years in which each animal signifies a different year. These animals play a huge role in Chinese stories and folklore, and have different personality traits. It’s such an important factor  that many people dictate their choices and plans based on the predictions and superstitions described in the Chinese Zodiac.

With Chinese New Year around the corner, here at AutoDeal, we’ve decided to make predictions of our own. We’ve come up with a fun and interesting list for those interested in knowing what type of car would best fit your Chinese zodiac sign. We’ve given each of the 12 animals a vehicle that best suits their personality traits, and we’re hoping that our predictions help determine what type of vehicle is a true match for you.
