Not to sound sexist, but 95% of the women I know would prefer a large SUV that never transports anything more than their tiny 5'2" frame.

JD, can you judo chop this thread so it dies?
You can include Porsche the company in this camp as well. Porsche have been very insecure about their Carrera, a well-documented and accepted fact evidenced by the engine allocation choices. Can't upstage the car you're always upselling!

One better, when Patrick Long was a brand-spanking new face at Porsche and not yet a full-time factory driver, Porsche would not issue him a Carrera for personal use. He revealed that he and the other rookies were given "only" Boxsters. LOL.. They even tried to indoctrinate their own drivers with the marketing "stepping stone car" spin.
