That's like the pot calling the kettle black. M3?? Any BMW?? LOL They're lubricated with estrogen.

I've never heard that about any Porsche. Although I'm sure the young V8 muscle car guys would dis any car that way. Should hear what they say about Beemers and their drivers.

The Probe was a chick car...LOL...hence the name

I've heard the Miata(old body shape) described as a chick car. Z28 and Trans Ams with slush drive are often viewed as chick cars. Any of the front wheel drive convertibles are chick cars. The SUV has become the new soccer mom vehicle(up here in the great northeast).

Porsche club members could start wearing leather vests with club patches on the back("colors"). They could travel in huge packs and terrorize citizens on the roads and bust up a few bars. We could use nicknames like Mungo and Grizzly. And steal the manpurses of BMW drivers and run off with their sexually frustrated women. :-)

There are a few "chick cars" and none of these are sports cars. A chick car is not a fabrication or a delusion the car companies have identified certain models in their line ups that appeal overhwhelmingly to muchachas. They gear the marketing towards women with 'girlie' brochures. I also suspect there is a fair bit of gay research as well because the gay segment are rapidly growing in profile as a consumer group with rapidly rising incomes.

The beetle is the best example of a car that appeals to both these groups. I've personally known about 8 or 9 people who have owned this car in all its iterations (convertible, turbo, orange with orange wheels, etc) and all were female or gay or both.

other chick cars: Mazda Mx3, VW Cabriolet, BMW M3, Celica, Jeep LIberty, maxima.

p.s.

"The Boxster is a hairdresser's car"

LOL

That's funny because Emilio my hair dude drives a 911 Cabriolet (tip).

p.s.s.
one of the cars I listed is not a chick car, just having fun (just a glorified 3 series).

Dang!

I'm a happy Miata owner.

Then I find out that they are considered girly cars.......

Then I buy a Boxster, and now I find out IT'S considered a girl car......

I'm reconsidering my plans for that yellow Beetle Convert.

Miata and Boxster are in the same boat.
Both seen as chick cars by posers yet on any given given weekend at any given grassroots racing event you will see many more examples of both than you will see mustangs, iroc camaros, most mercs and bmws and 'tricked out' civics, supras and eclipse.

Inversely. Generally. But not inevitably.

Trust me, it's a professional opinion. I deal with manhood.

The weaker the ego, the bigger the truck, gun, cowboy hat, etc etc etc.

If you want to make a car more "manly"...just don't paint it pink. Other than that, everything else is fair game accross all genders.
