Today the ultimate chick car is the Range Rover. Or whatever SUV the lady's budget can accomodate.
Also, the author replied to that woman that the Miata was the winningest car in SCCA history. A better reply would have been the Miata is by far the most commonly found car at any track day or autocross from LA to NY. It is the perfect car for motorsports, you can use all of the power all of the time without ending up teets up and unlike German sports cars, the engines can rev high without breaking or requiring costly rebuilds as a regular part of long-term maintenance. I often wonder why one of the Japanese car makers didn't simply clone the Boxster outright and offer it half the price. Instead we got some cars that were close but not really the same. Either too small, an engine that ran a bit too much like regular car at the low end, or had the engine in the wrong place.

True, aside from the s2k which you still had to rev out the butt, i feel that the eastern manufactures missed a great chance. Maybe a baby nsx would work well. Toyota has proven they can make good cars despite the fact i still have no draw to the gt86 or any lexus with an f in its name, however im sure they could spit out something nice, besides isn't it toyota that is beating the 919 and the audis both?
