Don't let them bully you...you can post about whatever you want. I think it's an interesting topic. I also don't feel it's a feminine car but some think what they want.

Default Is the ISx50 a "chick" car?

I was in mixed company at a dinner party this evening and the conversation among a few guys (most of whom I didn't know) drifted toward automobiles. One guy in particular (who proudly revealed he owned a Porche and a Hummer) made a point of asking each person what they drove.

When asked, I answered "A Lexus". "What kind?" he followed. "An IS350" I said. To which he exclaimed, "Dude, that's a girls car!... Give it to your wife." At first, I thought I'd be offended, but it honestly rolled right off my back. "Good to know, I'll make a note... ," I told him.

I've been so happy with my first month of IS350 ownership that not much of anything could get under my skin regarding this car. Has anyone else had their ISx50 referred to as a "chick mobile"? What kind of exchange did it lead to?

I don't think so. I don't see many 2IS in my area but the ones I noticed were driven by guys.

Did you see this thread?

Pshh...Studies say male drivers who own porsche always cheat on their wives. Porsches can also be a womens car also..That's just dumb to assume that. oOhh driving a hummer...big deal...very many, my 16 year old friend owns one. So WHAT!? Tell him he's full of himself..

You should've replied back with... "Well you know... The Hummer is a Douche Bag car... maybe you should give it to your douche bag boyfriend". Really though, MOST people who buy that fugly piece-of-ish gas-guzzling behemouth have to be a Douche Bag.

And don't tell me he drives a Porsche Boxster. Most Boxster drivers are middle age crisised men that can't afford a high-end Prosche.

I'm not a big fan of JD Power Surveys anyway but I do think the IS is a 'chick car'.
I don't really care.Hell,I drive two chick cars.
