Get the F-Sport version. With that gaping jaw, no way it's a chick car. Haha

I have white with red interior. I am into sports, working out and manly things. I do not feel feminine at all. Car looks amazing in white, shows the body lines very well and is super classy.

I tinted the windows, added exhaust and lowered the car. Far from girly, especially now.

I honestly think the white NON fsport does look kinda feminine BUT like vette said you can do things to it to make it less feminine.

I've seen way more girls drive the 250 than guys. I have yet to see a girl drive a 350. The white is easily the most popular color for the IS too.

yea I am between the white and nebula grey. and yea I was thinking of getting the white F sport with the red interior. I have also noticed a lot of girls driving the white one though. I guess its the same when buying phones, white ones always look a little feminine but it doesnt mean a guy cant buy one

I do not feel that way at all, now if you add pink highlights you may have a problem... I don't think this looks feminine

april fool's is over right??? I find this thread/subject humorous...everyone's going to have an opinion of course.


I've always liked white cars, but probably will never buy one. like some on here, I've seen many women drive white IS's, but does it really matter if it's a 250 or 350? there's no external differences. sure differences in fsport and non fsport, but to reference the eng size shouldn't entail whether or not the car looks to be for "females." if that's the case, just debadge the mug.


white car w/ red guts or white car w/ black guts is going to look good on the streets. there's some cat on here that bought his wife a white IS for their anniversary...is it coincidence? maybe, but it's not going to be weird seeing him in the driver's seat.


I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't think it really makes a difference. my opinion the white IS isn't a "chick's color." especially w/ a carbon fiber hood on it...haha....or is it...haha

White is generic, it is fine.

But 250's are for girls, guys drive 350's.

That's the dumbest thing ive ever read on this forum, I wanted an ISF originally but wasn't gonna pay that much for a used car, so just went with a 250 but If I wanted speed and a sedan(my kids) I would of gotten an ISF.
