Talking Lexus manliness chart.

Start from the manliest and finish with the most female.

I especially want to know where the LX stands. And also the others.

The most recent models only.

All of my cars and motorcycles have been nicknamed with women's names.

If I'm riding it, there is nothing "manly" about any of my rides...

I predict that this thread will be locked by the mods because the participants wouldn't play nice with each other

Hopefully, it won't come to that.

There is a cultural ideology that vehicles can be masculine or feminine.

If you think about it, it's as absurd as one saying that a pen more masculine than a pencil. That a bar stool is more masculine than a dining chair.



It just doesn't make sense...

Both IS-SV and Philip are correct. The whole idea of "masculine" aand "feminine" cars is absurd. Some vehicles, like high-powered sports/muscle cars, do have more male than female owners. Others, such as minivans, VW Beetles, Mini Coopers, and some small convertibles, have more female than male owners. But to say that they are "male" or "female" vehicles, IMO, is way stretching it.

Back to the original list of Lexus products posted with the thread title, in my experience, I don't see a clear association with any Lexus product to either a clear "male" or "female" predominent group of owners. In fact, one of my own favorite Lexus products (and I am a male) is the RX350, a vehicle that some of you have ranked as a "girlie" Lexus. The RX is an ideal combination of smoothness, refinement, quality, versatilty, luxury, and all-weather security.

I don't know about being "correct", lol. In short this thread is frivolous at best.
