This paper analyzes the cars mentioned in Turkish
novels, as consumption patterns of their period. The shifts in their choices,
as symbols of wealth, identity and social status, and the expectations they
represent are compared and historicized in the light of the history of
emergence of the automotive sector. Cars
have always been a strong indicator of the economic status in Turkey, as it has
been in the rest of the world. Furthermore, has been the fetish object, being a
symbol of unstoppable power, and an instant of the ideology symbolizing the
individuality. In this work, the debate is on the consumption psychology moving from
existence to possession and further resemblance; and the main consideration is
the choices of the cars and the trends in narrations in defining the economic
statuses with the cars.
