"We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars."

Funny how you did that with no controlled subjects. Have groups that only listen to white noise, random chatter from a busy restaurant, maybe the rumble of a subway train. Even groups who listen to nothing at all, and just sit idle for a few minutes.

Also, I buy that sexual arousal increases testosterone levels, which would mean high levels of testosterone are correlated with sexual arousal. But I don't know if raised levels of testosterone necessarily indicates sexual arousal.

It doesn't. Test can be raised through exercise, for example.

The fact that testosterone can be raised via exercise does not exclude the possibility that testosterone signals sexual arousal. I'm told that there is some "sex" in the exercise high.
