Default Gender and ls460

Hi guys! I am trying to find out how many men vs women drive ls460. In my town in Canada I am yet to see a woman behind a wheel of this car. I know that most of you on this site are men but i'd like to know the actual % #s.IMO this is definitely not a girly car.

Miss Barbie dearly loves HER Noble Spinel Mica LS460. She does play "Fair" however .... She 'allows' me the pleasure of vacuuming out the floors and washing it each week. Ain't she SWEET ? ~! -

It is certainly women's car. I bought it for wife and drive it only occasionally. Guys like smaller and nimbler cars. M6 is probably an exception, never saw a man driving it.

I'm in Las Vegas - I'm a guy, but see mostly women driving them out here. Probably 8 to 1. I object to having it classified as a "chick" car though - Vegas is a different town, and the prosperous men out here tend to want to be more ostentatious in their appearance. Your Hotel Mogels here like the Rolls, Bentley and Escalade. Attorneys here like a Porsche. Doctors here tend to like a truck for some reason. I'm a businessman, more conservative, not trying to prove anything, just like luxury and dependability. The LS is perfect for me, which is why I'm on my 3rd one.

Not really subjective, just make counting of drivers and if result is 60% or more women drivers, then we can conclude.

I see you are referring to your neck of the woods.

RX's are a "chick" car, not an LS.

In the bay area I see about a 1.25 to 1 male to female ratio driving the LS. But now that I think of it I see the about same for an S class and 7 series. A8 I have yet to see a woman drive
