Way to be a "glass half full" kinda guy.

My opinion is that an IS with stock 17's can look kind of "girly"... but as soon as you lower it and change the wheels, it appears much more aggressive and "non-girly". My fiance, for example, wanted a white IS soooo bad... but that did not turn me off of buying my SGM IS250. I love my car and all other IS's I see on the road. They're just good looking, classy but sporty cars so they appeal to both men and women.

Couldn't this be posted in the "Is the IS a girl's car" thread?

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.

I have the F-Sport package and I think it is slightly less girly but still girly... A woman at the gas station said my car was "cute" and some of my co-workers said the same.

Article states 46% are women, so that means more males drive it.

the IS has REALLY nice curves to its designs and i can see why women would want it....It's sexy/classy as hell and that's not a bad thing at all. I can appreciate a woman with great taste

Agreed. Girl car or not, the thing has nice lines so I feel no embarrassment cruising it around.
