Based upon how many people in this thread that a specific car is "gay" or "homo" or "i love you" etc. I think my assumption that the majority of the voters are insecure males between the ages of 18 and 21 holds true.

I own a VW New Beetle and a VW Jetta, I've also owned a early 80's convertible VW Rabbit (the ones that VW based the original Cabrio design on). I've driven many different cars in my life and in reality don?t believe that any of the cars on that list (with the exception of Geo Metros, which aren?t even made anymore) are something that should truly be considered "Wussy". In fact the only car that was mentioned here that I think can truly be called "Wussy" is an "Echo".

Everyone gets their opinion and you can all think what you want. I dislike the vast numbers of people who drive SUVs and Trucks in place of a Minivan, I also hate to see Honda Civics get treated like race cars. I?ve owned and driven both for a number of years so I have a pretty good idea about what both are like. These however are just my opinions and one of the great things about freedom is the ability to buy and drive whatever you want (and can afford) and the right to present your opinions. Let me make one thing clear, just because YOU THINK that a specific type of car is "Gay" or "Homo" or whatever the politically incorrect catchphrase of the week is doesn?t make it so.

Claiming that a specific car is "Homosexual" indicates 2 things:
1. That you are an expert on that specific car and know exactly how it drives and how it handles, plus all the advantages/disadvantages to owning one.
2. That you are an expert on being homosexual.
If you are not BOTH of these please don?t suggest otherwise.

I propose that rather than taking a poll (if you really want to know what is and isn?t ?Wussy?) you devise a rating scale to help determine, here are a few examples of things you could base your decisions upon:
0-60 times (both base model and modded)
horsepower (again base model and modded)
1/4 mile times (ditto)
looks (subjective)
handling
etc
etc

My 2 cents

I agree.... why does a car have some sort of sexuality? Is there something wrong with gay? Hmm... I drive a 97 Geo Metro and enjoy it. You tell me what SUV/truck/minivan can park in a cart thing at Krogers/Meijers/etc. and still be in line with the rest of the cars?! Haha! I also like my 40mpg city, thank you very much!

depends on the person.

if u are a wuss, it doesnt matter what u drive

New beetle by a long shot. The vast majority (not exagerating have a flower in the dash and are 90%+ driven by girls. The other 10% is either homosexuals or guys who's car has broken down and they're using their gf/wife's car, or guys who for some reason are so out of the loop that they think these cars are cool - and yes some guys are like that.

They are more fruity than a mazda miata could ever be.

That is one manly piece of metal! I wish I had $45,000....

the Cooper S starts around $20,000 I'm pretty sure.

I was going to vote of anything that had "VW" in front of it, but i didn't know the Geo was considered a car, so i changed my vote.

That's CAR with MOTORCYCLE engine...thank you much! Haha!

 

[glugglug]

From experience renting one I'd have to say any Geo.
Only car I've ever seen that couldn't at least do 80.

Heh, most motorcycles have at least 5x the engine that a Geo does.

FYI the old VW bugs along with Mazda RX7's theoretically have linear acceleration. They have rotary engines which have HP proportional to current speed so as you get faster you get more power and you stay glued to the seat... until either you reach the limit of the fuel intake or it blows itself up from the vibration being not perfectly balanced at that speed makes or just from the heat.

Let's review this list:
Ford Escort - wussy, but they were built that way

Escort isn't wussy. Wussy looking maybe but its pretty zippy. At least the 1.9L is. Got the 140mph ticket to prove it...

Think how many police cars are escorts... good pickup is pretty much a requirement for any police vehicle.

The sports coupe version of the focus is NOT a girls car. The Miata is the wussiest gayest car for a guy to drive, real men get z4's.

Drive like a man then you won't look so ghey in the Miata.

not possible. men that drive miatas only do so because they have no skills to parallel park anything bigger. be a man, get some driving skills, and then maybe you can upgrade from that miata.

Are your Ignorant for a living or just for show? In the UK everyone parallel parks all the time. And my previous cars include a V70 T5 Wagon. Grow up.

WRONG on the old-bug front. It was an air cooled flat four, not a Wankel like the RX-7/8 which is a true rotary.

 

[YellowRose]

Geo Metro tied with the Chevy Cavalier

Real life test is if my mans vehicle will not hold my camping gear,fishing poles and hunting rifles then its a wussie vehicle.

 

[PTCvette]

Heck, I don't care what anyone says, I drove a Miata and it is hands down the car I was most embarrassed to be seen in! Not only is it a pitiful excuse for a mid-life crisis waiting to happen, it's underpowered, and I probably looked like a clown driving it!

Although it's not girly, any mustang made from the late 70's to the current models are by far the lamest cars on the road. A true chick car if you ask me, especially the new ones!

You guys shouldn't hate on the Mini. That car is REALLY impressive.

Dude. Pink caddy is PIMPIN'.

[fluxquantum]

Yes but if you see a man driving a New Beetle, he could just be a hippie. If you see a man driving a Golf Cabrio, you KNOW he's gay, and gay men are wussies.

Underpowered? Do you have any idea how light that car is? Less than 2400 lbs, 142 HP is plenty for that kinda of car. The Miata is all about driving, it's not supposed to be a drag racer, but it'll dance around the corners. Some cars are just FUN to drive, giving you an all around driving experience, and the Miata is aimed at doing just that.

 

[ohtwell]

Definitely a Beetle!


: ) Amanda

 

[compudog]

Yeah, the new Beetle or the classic Chevy Chevette! (I drove a Chevette for a while... ) Guess I'm a wuss.

 

[Chrono310]

Hey! I have a Saturn! It isn't one of the newer SL bubbly ones though (thank goodness).
