That list shows exactly why I don't believe in auto-stereotypes. All of those vehicles have between 50 and 60% female ownership/registration. That means that 40-50% of them (going on half) are being driven/owned/registered) by males.....hardly enough, IMO, to make any of them "Chick-Cars".
IMO, the closest thing to a true automotive stereotype (if there is such a thing) would be the Cadillac DeVille/DTS. While not unheard of, it is generally uncommon to see a younger person driving one....almost all of the privately-owned/non-limo versions have pilots behind the wheel that are older than 50.

No, I don't play soccer!
Certainly not by looking in the RX forum.
The only two on the list that remotely appeal to me would be the RAV4 and the Matrix. No women I know drive any of the other vehicles. And like mmarshall said it's really not that disproportionate.

Lexus Test Driver
LMFAO
Our college newspaper recently interviewed a student(who is the son of a popular communications prof. on campus) about racing. Both he and his father love Miatas and enjoy racing them. He kept talking about why the Miata was the best car out there. I want to send him the episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson drives one across the middle east, lol.
Lot's of honda civics driven by girls around here, usually the group that has their car bought for them by their parents. Tons of beetles on campus driven by girls as well, but I haven't seen any of the latest gen. Where's the Mazda6 on there? I see chicks driving them all the time.
The Lexus LS is an old person car around here. But maybe that's just because I live in a town with a heavy demographic of retired folks with decent retirements. When I see younger people behind the wheel of a Lexus, it's almost always an IS. One of my roommates has taken to calling me an old man because I drive a Lexus and listen to Johnny Cash. I then point out that that he drives a Civic while listening to Ke$cha and Lady Gaga.
