Default Curiosity poll...gender and IS model

So I can't help but notice whenever I see another IS on the road, and a woman is driving, it's ALWAYS a 250.

When I see a man driving, maybe half and half woman or man.

So I'm not saying the 250 is a girl's car, but apparently it totally is. Curious what the splits are and if my observations are abnormal. I've literally never seen a woman driving a 350 (2IS or 3IS)

I've noticed that I rarely see 350's at all (any generation) around here. I looked at new inventory stock and there are 39 IS's for sale and only 6 are 350's. Is it like that everywhere? Also, I've only seen 250 AWD no 350 AWD.

Edit** I went back and checked the number of non F sport 350's = there is only 1 !!!! Crazy.

Lady driven

In the Toronto area (GTA) I can safely say that 80% of 2IS were IS250 and mostly in the AWD format given that they did not release the IS350 AWD until later in the model year (2011 iirc).

With the 3IS, the majority of them are the IS350 F Sport as the dealers have really been pushing this model hard. I do see some occasional IS250 but they are rare. I also noticed that about 95% of the cars are AWD.

That's because most females don't mod cars.

I live in NYC and see quite a few IS on the streets. With the new 2014 bodies I see mostly males, anything prior I see a even split between females and males.

Yeah, in my experience, car forums are usually male dominated, so these results aren't a total shock. Although the number of female/male 250/350 ratio still surprises me
