What about the Corolla S and any Cougar that's still on the road.

None of those are what I would consider a girly car, those are just plain, sensible econoboxes, except for miata which are supposed to be super fun to drive.


If I was hard pressed to pick a girly car it would be
-"New" VW Beetle
-Mitsubishi Eclipse/Spyder

Hey, don't get me wrong, I love the Miata...but it does have a chick car image.

I can maybe see how people might view this car or that car as a girly car, but I can't for the life of me understand the logic behind the V6 Mustang being a "girly" car.

Seriously? The car's nickname is the secretary's car. How many male secrateries do you know? Take note of how many women you see driving one in a typical day.

minivans are objectively the most sensible things ever. the only thing they can't compared to a proper SUV is tow 6000 lbs. compared to a "crossover" they're better or even in every practical way.

no, anyone purchasing a minivan is using far too much sense for it to be a girly car. :twisted:

For now I'm adding a warning that this pic is NSFW and changing it to a link, but I'm also going to start a discussion with some of the other mods as this is close enough to the line that I'm not quite sure which side it's on.

So much truth to this.

Oh and o_O to the vag beetle. I think that might be against forum rules though :D

New VW Beetle... those are really the only thing I strictly call chick cars. Everything else is questionable one way or another (even the Miata has several LS1 projects floating around ;))

Mustang V6's really depend. I'd say anything from the "New Edge" era has a strike against it, but I've also seen a few cool V6 Turbo projects that held their own. Of course, but the time they were done with it they could have had a faster GT anyway.

Around here, I still see more females driving mid-sized SUVs than guys. Ford Explorers and their Chevy / GMC / Hyundai / Nissan / etc. counterparts.

Wrong! Minivans also can't offroad all since they have the ground clearance of a car.

I saw that and then I read his signature and it says: "Black haired beauty.", I must say it looks brown from where I am looking at it :p

That Vag beetle is just so wrong....yet SO right it's messed up

But let's just say I am glad my laptop is tethered through my cellphone at work and leave it at that.

I love my girly maita. Going autoxing again this weekend in it. You get over the girly thing pretty quick once you actually drive one.

Have a minivan too and it does have pretty good ground clearance. Not that I would want to really off road it.

Pontiac G6 - Possibly the most chick-like car ever made by an American company
Chevy Aveo
Chevy Cobalt
Dodge Caliber
Actually.. probably anything made by VW or Volvo for that matter.
