Regarding Ben Affleck, I might be biased about this one since i'm originally from New England.
Anyway, he's one good director. Have you seen "Town"?

Anyway, back to the topic. I agree that the color has a lot to do with it as well

The 3rd gen is designed to appeal the dudes. The 2nd and older were for soccer moms from the looks of it hence the phrase "woman's vehicle". Just my cent.

I see more women driving Hummers and Jacked-up Pickup Trucks then men. If you like it, it shouldn't matter what other people think. Now if it were pink, that would be another story. LOL

You should have called him a MILF.
Serious answer now, I don't see how you can assign one type of SUV to the women and not say the same for the other crossover like Audi Q5, Nissan Murano, Honda CRV, etc

It's so hard to be politically correct these days. It's a wonder anybody says anything anymore.

Default It's perfect

Several years ago (2003) when it was time for me to retire from the Navy, Jane wanted the RX 300 and we bought one of the last ones as the 2nd gen was on the showroom. We soon learned it was not only a great lux car and could carry most of what I ever did in the truck, it was bullet proof as far as dependable.

Now the RX 450h is filling it's space in the garage and is a great car for anyone with a house that needs a multi-purpose car. And it carries me and my Segway in style

Love it.

My coworkers make fun of me for buying and driving a white rx350. Living in southern California, I'd say 8/10 drivers are women. Doesn't bother me and I love the interior and the ride.

Any car with a purse shelf is a woman's car. That said I drive one and my wife drives the BMW..

what exactly is a purse shelf?

on a different note, this particular car featured in 2 Fast 2 Furious ( driver is Tyrese Gibson) has a broad feminine fan base.. ( Eclipse Spyder)
you can double check with KELLY Blue book if you're not convinced.

I'd say the ratio is closer to 50/50 by me for 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen RXs.
