Well it also seems like many other industries, the auto industry is trying to diversify itself so badly


Never been or lived in Australia, but I heard this weird ass situation with the manufacturer Holden is happening in which it's trying to reach out its market more with gay and female drivers, here's a link that sort of talks about the story

No Cadillacs as I mentioned are more of a black guys car by miles. Even Subarus, Challengers and Corvettes are more common among black guys than the 300

How? I am taking both demographics, their looks and performance into account...

Not in my neck of the woods. In fact, now that I think of it, I can't think of a time that I've seen a Subaru anything driven by anyone with dark skin. Not saying there are none, just can't remember seeing that.

I have noticed that Cadillacs are preferred among blacks and with whites its usually older people.

Corvettes, quite frankly I haven't seen many in my area. I see plenty of luxury and sports cars, just not many Corvettes. It's hard for me to say if a Corvette is a black man's car, at least in my area.

Or, how about a middle-aged man who owns a Ram 2500 Cummins truck, a highly modified Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, a Vintage Honda 110, is also a licensed Amateur Radio Operator,

and owns a Suzuki Bergman 650

and owns a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
IMO, there are no "chick cars". There are merely pseudo-macho "men", under testosterone overload, who feel the need to label things as "not macho" or "feminine".

Cadillacs and 300s are pretty popular with black people in general.

I’ve never seen a black guy in a Subaru. Ever. Challengers and chargers are pretty popular for black people

I’m black with a corvette and I’ve only seen one other black guy with one. Majority of corvette owners are old white men

In general we black folks seem to like Cadillac and Chrysler, Mercedes, Chargers, and challengers. In my opinion.

I agree with all of this.

Well only the most tuned up of Subarus anyways...

No, don't be fooled. If you go to a local street car club sometime you will **** ton of black and even Hispanic dudes driving the Corvette. If you want an old man's sports car for white people then I think either the Porsche Cayman or Mustang are more suitable...

Subaru went that marketing direction in the USA in the late 90s/early 00s and the 'lesbaru' jokes are left over from that era. Their current dogs and safety marketing emphasis is the result of research about how their core buyer groups range from the LGBQT buyers that have often remained loyal to the brand to outdoorsy types to right wing survivalists who find their vehicles to be useful in event of apocalypse and trying to come up with ideas that all of those diverse buyer groups like or at least tolerate.

Yes I am sure everyone knows...


I think even the same happened with Chevy when they started making the Spark...

Remember guys is more than just the average demographic


Style, comfort, performance, looks and even the name could play a role


The PT Cruiser is like the ultimate granny wagon

I can take a bit of my statement back and say Chrysler 300 is the most feminine-looking masculine car out there, mostly because of its color packages I figure anyways... Though I been seeing only females drive the car everywhere for a while now...

Subaru may appeal to lesbians, but that's just a small cliche. Trust me is more a black man's car (especially if it's very tuned )




The reason I mentioned the Integra is mostly because of looks, strangely enough this only applies if the Integra is in yellow and if it's the Honda version, the tuned up version of Acrua made it appear more muscly than its original model.
And the Integra is one of my favorite cars ever... In other words think of "sexy looks" being the case here... Same principle from me almost applies to the Civic Type R


Kia Soul is all within the name itself, though you can tell it's trying to get a more masculine feel with the turbo charged...
