Masculine & Feminine Cars? (2010, SUVs, seats, trucks)

with his male life partner and enjoys chin nuts with a nice chardonnay.

I really don't think there's such a thing as masculine and feminine in autos anymore as I see women driving all types of vehicles. I've seen beautiful petite women driving H2 Hummers and Avalanches. I will say though that I havn't seen too many women driving Chargers.

weird thing is i saw one at a car show but never seen one on the road guess they never sold many of these

Someone at my old apartment complex had one of these! All of the brand markings were taken off it and I could never figure out what it was. I had always been really curious about that car until now. Thank you so much for posting that pic!

Few years ago was at the Ford Museum, they had an exhibit on the Probe, (remember them?) and IIRC it was a sports car designed to appeal to women.

I think the Nissan Altima Coupe is very feminine.

I find more things wrong with having to get a masculine car to identify yourself as a male......

You're 100% right. It's called compensating. The entire domestic auto industry seems to have been based on it, and well, we see how 2/3 of that turned out.

i envy guys that can fit into Miatas. i really do. i have yet to meet anyone who has driven one who does not absolutely love the thing, and they can be found so cheap now.

I though when they first came out they were going to replace the mustang with it

"Tuner" subarus or Mitsu's
Any Caddy V or BMW M series - The drops you see coming out of the tail pipes of these cars isn't water condensation, it's testosterone

Chick rides:
Miata
Civic Sedans
Any 2 dr Mercedes convertible
Lexus RX's
Any VW. - Someone once asked if VW made any cars for men. They do. Those cars are called Porsches

Man, I am confused now, lol!

So what does it say about me that my first car was a 65' Mustang with a modified 302 and a 5 speed suicide shift; and I currently have a F-350 turbo diesel dually; and MORE importantly what does it say about my husband that his first car was a 73' Super Beetle with a 911 in the rear end, lol!

To be fair though, VW did make a guy car; it was the van, lol!

As far as girly cars, I consider a Camry to be a chick car.

My boyfriend and I are about to have our first child, and we need to get a new car. How do I down grade from his '05 Dodge Ram to a more fuel efficient car with a back seat for our baby. I want it to be safe and not a gas gussler like the Ram without taking away all of his masculinity and keeping it cheap. Am I just hoping too much and need to tell him "Sorry, child saftey and affordable comes before manly-ness"?
