Well, I was helping you with the misspelling.
You may think it is stupid, but that is your opinion.
Incidentally, you may find the following survey interesting....
Social networking site Badoo.com (www.badoo.com) asked 30,000 people across 15 countries to name the coolest nationality and also found that the Spanish were considered the coolest Europeans, Brazilians the coolest Latin Americans and Belgians the globe's least cool nationality...
Brazilians are ranked the second coolest nationality in the Badoo poll and the coolest Latin Americans, ahead of Mexicans and Argentinians. The Spanish, in third place, are the coolest Europeans.
The French are voted cooler than the British, and Canadians cooler than the Belgians. This may come as a relief for Canadians, who are sometimes viewed as chronically uncool.
THE 10 COOLEST NATIONALITIES FIVE LEAST COOLEST
1. Americans 1. Belgians
2. Brazilians 2. Poles
3. Spanish 3. Turks
4. Italians 4. Canadians
5. French 5. Germans
The survey results probably explain your views regarding anthropomorphism.

I wonder if this basic thread came up on a car forum, if it would play out the same. How many people, especially who drive 'classic' cars would day their car has a soul? I think straight out by brands might be over generalising, but perhaps not.

Speaking as a Canadian, I don't think that that list is accurate.
We're way less cool then the Turkish.

Given the fact that riding a bicycle is the most intimate relationship between man and machine (well, I can think of one more intimate relationship between man/woman and machine than this but it is beyound the scope of this forum) op, by this post, has taken this relationship to the next level.
