The 300 is masculine. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about cars' genders.
Is a variety of factors my friend, not just the style of comfort or looks or just the demographics themeselves...

Just because a car is huge and is high performance doesn't make it masculine either you know?

The 300 is the ultimate black woman's car now that I think about it...

I have to say you’ve essentially missed the mark on almost all of your observations. 300 is a black guys car, everybody knows that.

You ain’t kidding, man they love those cars.

Luxury crossovers are the affluent suburban housewife car. X5. Lexus RX. Ditto current generation unibody Explorers. Anything that isn’t a minivan since those are now uncool.

New Beetle
In my opinion this is all very accurate^^^^

Mind also commenting on my list?
Keep actually stopped making the Liberty because it only appealed to women and was not selling well, according to an article I read a few years ago. The Fiat 500 is “cute”and therefore appeals to women. Your list has some cars that I wouldn’t consider feminine, based on my observation on their drivers.

Are there any cars left for men? The only model I have consistently seen driven by women is the Beetle. I see more of a division between liberal/conservative as male/female. Every Prius driver at my work is a certified Obama voter. I know them.

Wow. Those Italian hotels are some kind of wild. You'd never get away with that in the US.
