I voted as woman because wifey drives the SC and I drive the IS...I do however do all the work and research for both and I occasionally take the SC out for weekend drives when I have a need for speed.
Sales figures showed that women overwhelmingly drove them new. I've mostly seen women driving them here and when I lived in Vegas. But the nicer ones with aftermarket wheels are usually driven by men.
I tried google and can't find them. But they're out there somewhere. The initial market was primarily rich house wives. It has probably evened out a bit since then as the price comes down on used cars and younger men buy them. But I'm pretty confident more women than men still drive them. More women than men drive Mustangs too. Doesn't make it a chick car. In my opinion, it just shows our own gender bias of what we think men and women are supposed to like.

That's interesting, it'd be cool to see actual number. I do agree that this will be skewed a bit because probably most people here are guys wanting to modify their cars, not so much women. I just did it for fun to see who's out there
I purchased the SC430 for my wife who drives it regularly, but I really enjoy taking it on weekend drives in addition to maintaining and doing research on it.
