Well, you can have your impressions, and you can care about your community impressions...I could care less. I buy a vehicle because I like it, with my money, and I don't care what other people think. The point is that it shouldn't matter what you drive to go to any place of business etc., or to go anywhere else. I do not think that Lexus built the NX for this type of discussion, nor did they build the RX for just a women or guy. They built these cars in hopes that people will like their product. They added a mirror in the console...so what, i don't use it, but it is there for a women or who ever wants to use it. My girl friend used it today, so it serves a purpose. People need to get a life if they are concerned about what others drive. I have friends, and yes males, that have driven a VW beetle.....I never for once gave it a second thought as to them driving a " femme " car. I have a great male friend who drives a Jetta....so is something wrong with that ? My point...this is ridiculous behavior to be concerned about what another person drives. I love the NX, and I would think that people with the money and education to afford this vehicle, or any Lexus or other Luxury car, would not waste their time with this type of thread. I sure have wasted mine, but not now. Club Lexus has been very informative and helpful before the purchase of mine, and I sure want to hope I can continue to be a part of it, but not this ridiculous thread nor the poll. End of discussion. I have more important things to do than waste my time with this. You do have the right to you opinion , and I have stated mine.

This thread has grown to be ridiculous. By the way, if you didn't pay attention above, I'm a gay guy. As such, I hereby declare that the NX is a gay man's car, which I suspect many of you will think is "worse" than being a "girl's car".
What's next? Shall we launch into a discussion surrounding big 4WDs and muscle cars as being "compensation" for some "male deficiency"?

Please close this thread.
I have to agree...and I am staking another claim for 'gay man's car' too...it's only fair that we get our votes counted too.
Odds are that there were multiple gay men on the design team for the NX anyway, since we are the primary designers in the world...in fact, the last time we let a straight man design anything, we ended up with the fanny pack.
Honestly, while I don't care for gender bias in a car, I have to admit that there multiple biases that come into effect every time one sees a car that either stand out visually or due to the action of their drivers. No one can claim that these don't come to mind as they get closer to the car and take a look at owner/driver. In fact, I posit here, that the only reason to look at who is driving is to confirm or deny the very bias that came to mind.
For those that want this thread closed or moved, why is that? Why not just ignore it? does it strike a nerve every time you see it there with a new reply? do you feel the urge to read it? Will moving it put out of sight for you? it won't make it go away, it will be there, always, as you approach a NX on the road and wonder, is it a guy, a girl, an Asian/Caucasian/Brown/Black, gay/straight looking person driving it? you know it, don't you?
Just came across this discussion and to be honest, I am surprised that people (as poll in another thread showed) in their 30, 40 and even 60, who just coughed up over 40 grand (which is more than a yearly average U.S. family income) concerned if NX is male/female/gay or anything in between.
What do we have to prove? With 40+ thousands spent anyone on here could've gotten themselves a Mustang GT. is Mustang a female car? However, the choose was made against a muscle car, because most of us have nothing to prove and drive what we want.
Enough said.
Moreover, this immatur'ish discussion serves no purpose and I'd ask of moderators to close it. This discussion has no business to be on this reputable Lexus forum.

Yes, a car is a machine in the first place and actually has nothing to do with gender which is a human trait. Imagine the guys on the aircraft forums start a thread: "Is a Boeing 747 a girls plane?"
There is no secret that there is a certain type of market for cars and SUV's for masculine and feminine traits. Masculine cars are always larger, bigger engines, and faster. Feminine traits in cars always tend to me more practical, safer, economical (even though it just means being smart).
Those images are stereotypes that are promoted mainly by the auto press and enthusiast magazines. More often than not, those stereotypes have little to do with reality.
You know what the NX reminds me of? Has anyone ever seen the Simpsons episode with the Canyonero?
LMAO.. okay I joke enough. Even though I still think its a really cool car, to me it looks more like a chicks car. But my friends say the same thing about my IS250 as well
