ZV

absolutely. i've driven one. pure thrill.

werd! I own a Miata and it rocks. I haven't driven a car that was more fun to drive.
 
wussy?
Sure... the Miata is a gutless car but it's a bonafide roadster... some people have crammed a 427 in there!

The Beetle is feminine like the Cabrio VWs... they are much more "girly" than wussy. Geo Metro is da wussy! 3 Cylinder powa!!!

Most any Hyundai, especially the Tiburion. Who does the styling on these things?

I expect it was Hyundai.........

Actually the latest Tiburon design was pinned by Pinifarina (you know the same design house that does Ferrari designs as well as Alfa Romeo's among others).

What about the Mid 90's base model ford mustang?!?

And WTF is your people's problem? I drive a New Beetle! I see nothing wrong with the 170 ft/lbs of torque in the base model!

Blah, I have nothing to worry about anyways, I'll bet 70 of those 72 votes against the beetles are kids who drive whatever mommy and daddy provide for them anyways 😉

Here here!!!

A friend at work drives the new turbo Beatle. Grey with charcoal interior or something.

That car ROCKS

If that's a chick car my mom is a guy.

Uhmmm.. maybe you should be more specific because I know you don't mean a 2nd gen z24. Nothing girly about a jet black z24 with cowl induction and twin pipes coming out the back.
 
Cabrios...

I used to call 'em b!tch baskets...

Oh wait, i still do.

Especially the red ones w/ black convertible tops and zebra print seat covers with some cheap pastel lei hanging from the rear view mirror.
 
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.

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

talk about insecurity.

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.

Is it easier to parallel park a manual Miata or an automatic Corvette on a hill?
