With 46% that only proves IS is not a girl car. Though the numbers on the survey is a little weird since the numbers don't really add up.

It's interesting that Beetles are 50%. I rarely see a guy drive a Bettle. Maybe they are going off of sales or title names. Ie daddy/boyfriend/husband/mistress/pimp buying the car for the lady.

It's a pretty silly thing to compare to. If you like the car and everything it stands for, then why does it matter if women drive it? I guess my point is a bit negated since I am a woman, but god damn, my car is manly.

My boyfriend's IS250 is supercharged, dumpt, and glorious -- a man's car. It's a piece of art.

If you park your car, turn around as you walk away, and get a deep feeling of joy, who gives a crap what it's labeled.
You make an excellent point. I see both men and women driving the IS models. I think the VW Beetle and Volvo have also been labelled as girly cars too.

Well put! I do that every time I walk away from my car. I also think, "Boy am I glad I didn't sign the lease on that Jetta!"

Actually, plenty of dudes drive Minis here.

Every time I see one on the road, I look in expecting to see a cute girl, but often it's a guy.

If it means cops leave me alone, I don't really mind. I haven't been pulled over since I got them... instead cops just give me a thumbs up

you know, those numbers look kinda funny to me. Even the car driven most by women is only 50%, so the other 50% must by guys ...
