What does make a car a "girls car"? Anyone driving a specific car to make him look macho, is in anyway very unsure of his manhood. They used to say a Porsche Boxter is a girl's car, a Mercedes CLK should be Mercedes CL Gay and a Renault Modus is a handbag on wheels. I haven't driven one of those cars, but if I do drive one of them and I like it, to hell with what any pseudo macho clown says.

But to OP's weird biased question. The answer is NO
Give it more time since it's new model but I do see a lot of women driving non F-sport IS250.

The usual term is 'chick car'.
The Beetle,Miata etc.
I owned two chick cars.A '06 IS250 AWD and a '10 RX350.

I see more 250s than 350s in my area with both male and female owners. It's preference. Buy whatever you want. If you're a guy who wants to 250, go for it. Why is this even a thread?

While I agree that more girls drive 250 than 350s is because there are way more 250s than 350s out there. I'd venture to say it's at least a 6:1 ratio

I don't have a 250, but then if you want to follow this kind of argument to its full logic, I must dash out to shake the cash for a Mercedes Unimog to proof I'm a man, start wearing shorts with lots of tattoos and being very rude to other people to complete the picture. Let me tell you the most macho pretenders in my platoon were the ones we had to drag out of the APC's by their feet crying, in an ambush.

The real question here (coming from a woman) is are you saying that girls are somehow inferior and that you should be embarrassed or are somehow less of a person if you drive a car that women drive?

And if 250s are for girls, I guess i missed the memo when I got my 350 f-sport.
