ALL (Boxster and 911 included) Sub $100,000 convertibles get the chick car label.

Anyone who sees a miata or Boxster or S2000 and thinks (not saying this is you 986spyder) and immediately thinks "chick car" is someone who has not spent very much time at a track or autocross. These are cars are fixtures at both.
Really when you think about it with all the "sporty" cars being made today there are only really about a dozen true sports cars in the sub $100K realm that are mass produced. The Boxster and Miata are definitely in that group
