Porsches are pretty common in my neck of the woods, actually I counted five in my previous condo complex alone (2 Boxsters, 1 Cayman, 2 Cayennes). Both Cayennes were driven by women. As a matter of fact two previous women I dated both had white Cayennes. Can't name a single woman I've ever known who owned a Boxster.
But generally speaking I just don't see women driving any convertibles. They all want Range Rovers, X5's or Cayennes. To go with their Iphones, Louis Vouiton bags and UGG boots... Around here women all want to copy each other...otherwise its like they feel left out of the club.

9 Porsches in our condo.
3 Cayennes (one turbo) all driven by women
2 911's. owned by the same guy. one is 997 the other is 993
and 4 boxsters.
my 01 S. a 99 base. a 08 special addition. and an 03 S, owned by a girl.
she wanted to buy an air cooled 911, but quickly understood its not gonna be practical for here. so she got the PDK boxster.

Most women I see drive Jeep Wranglers including my wife. She has the top off all summer long, on the Jeep that is.  . 33 inch tires, 3 inch lift kit, and it had to be red. When she earned her Masters degree I decided to celebrate and buy her a new car. I proposed BMW, Jag, Cadilac, or Porsche but all she wanted was a Jeep so we bought her a new red one. It worked out great for me. She won't drive my Boxster but she loves to ride in it. The jeep is fun too, in the mountains.

That is true but it took a few years. Imagine how many pages it will have in a couple more.

Funny, That is all my wife wanted for a toy vehicle. She got her Jeep Wrangler Sport last spring. Soft top all summer, Hard top Thanksgiving to April Fools Day.

I might be the biggest wuss of all time having a Boxster, a Mini Cooper, and a Miata in the driveway.  My wife is clearly the man of the house in her BMW 325i.

And as you already know the Miata is perhaps the car most likely to be found at your local track or autocross. From the left coast to right here in NJ and everywhere in between.
That's another car I rarely see women driving and it's usually an older male behind the wheel. Maybe a bit more common to see women in a Miata than Boxsters or Z4's but generally a car that is typically a five speed manual is not a car a woman typically drives. The chick car label seems to be more about perception than the mechanics of shifting.

You guys are so funny . . .
Christian Louboutin is a gay, black, French footwear designer. He gets $800-$1200 per pair of shoes.
You've probably seen his shoes, and didn't realize it, they are the ones with the red soles.
Shoe newbs . . .

I believe Johnny specifically requested the red, they show off his legs. . .
