Mercedes Benz chick cars?

[jtvang125]

I would say 90% of the MB drivers in SoCal are women. Do you see them as chick cars?

 

[shocksyde]

Nope.

But with the most extremely masculine vehicles out there, women don't seem to be interested. No women have registered for one of Honda Motor's (nyse: HMC - news - people ) Acura NSX sports cars this year. And with DaimlerChrysler's (nyse: DCX - news - people ) Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG performance sedan, only 1.8% of its registrants this year have been women.

Women tend to like the small luxury cars like 3 series and C classes but all in all, Mercedes like the S class and CLS and CLk, etc arent feminine cars.

Sedans are neither chick nor guy cars, except maybe the AMG models. ML is a soccer mom's car. SLK is definitely a chick car.

Here's an article on the cars with most male and most female registered owners.

People who buy those type of cars buy them for class and people's perception not for them. You spend 30K more just because it has a Mercedes logo on it. Sadly the quality is not up to par. If you are planning to get a Mercedes it's better off getting a 70 - early 90s type of mercedes. Those are the good one's the diesel engine. People clock 400,000K miles on them. 200,000 is almost consider low mileage on one of these things.

I classify anything without a proper clutch based transmission shy of a "Man's Car".....IE SMG is ok, but certainly not as fun

I always thought of the 80s 560 SELs as oil sheik cars for some reason, lol.

I see the SLK as a chick car. SL as metrosexual, and the others mostly as soccer-mom or dentist mobiles.

The C class is a chick car. The E class is a milf car. The M class is a soccer mom car. The S class was made for males, and the G class was made for MEN.

Actually, I see lots of women in S classes. I even see women driving AMG Mercedes, though I bet they've never pushed the accelerator down more than a fourth of the way!

It was no AMG edition, but I dated a woman who drove a 500SL and she was always flooring it. Scared the bejebuz out of me, I always thought we were surely going to die. She did finally have a wreck a couple of years later, thankfully no one was seriously injured. Hopefully she's slowed down now
