Honorable mentions
Honda CR-V
Chevy Malibu

I had a lot of honorable mentions to get out there for sure, anyways. Time for your own lists I guess.
As I now drive my wife's prior RX350, I'd add that to the list.

If feminine means " driven by women" then, your list is nt complete without Suburban - the ultimate suburb soccer mom car .
If feminine means looks, then S550, its beautiful and classy.
A lot of people are calling SUVs girly. But SUVs are family cars. Moms often drive them, because they're hte ones who tote the family around and need to haul groceries, landscaping supplies, etc. I saw an article recently about mfrs discontinuing sedans because SUVs have replaced the sedan as the family car, because they're more useful.
A real girly car is, IMO, one that looks sort of feminine and can't be used for real work. Honda CR-V, Toyota Camry. NOT Subaru, which is a real AWD, useful utility vehicle.
What pops to mind immediately, but am not sure why for most of them:
VW Cabriolet
Miata (yes, I know they are actually decent performing little roadsters, but I have always perceived them as chick cars - still I woudl be happy to have one).
Dodge Charger (the new soccer mom vehicle).
Chrysler minivan of red Cherokee (former soccer mom vehicles).
Chevy Spark (because two of my daughters find them "cute" and therefore desirable)
Subaru, but only because it was marketed as a Lesbian car and that is stuck in my subconscious. I would not include the boy racer car in that though.
Every CUV out there, except the Buick which I perceive as an old man's car.
Dodge Magnum
Any pink, yellow, or pastel colored car.
Mini
VW Bug
Mustang v-6.
Honda Ridgeline
Smart Car
I have to admit cars that are a poor choice (not good at anything, but flashy, cute, or clever BS marketing), especially pseudo sporty cars that are actually not sporty at all (like a "performance" version of a Toyota, or a chevy sonic), I tend to expect appeal more to women - kind misogynistic of me I suppose.
I am looking out the window as cars run by thinking which one I perceive as likely to appeal mostly to women or I would most expect to find a woman driving. Some cars are just a surprise when you find a woman driving like a Camaro, Mustang GT, most pick ups except the Honda, corvettes (the male mid-life crises car), semi's, CTS-V, Demon, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, pretty much any British car except mini
Prius - I expect to be driven by a smug liberal, and since I know about twice as many women who are smug liberals as men, I guess Prius might fit in there.
Sorry you cannot tell me I am wrong, because these are simply perceptions. Perceptions cannot be right or wrong. You could prove that 92% of Miatas are owned by males but it would not disprove (or change) my perception they are feminine cars. Perceptions cannot be disproved they are based on your experience and while they can be changed, they cannot be "wrong" as there is no right or wrong perception, it simply depends on what you encounter which ma or may not be a representative sample. (Sometimes perceptions are intentional, like the Miata, I might change my perception in that regard, but it is so much fun to poke at the Miata owners and watch them get all butthurt, because the Miata is the true competition for my car (Jensen Healey), so even if that perception might be changeable some time ago, I still refuse to change it.

Lol, you’re probably right about the Miata. If you have to explain to every human being you meet that it’s actually a manly performance car, then Mazda has a marketing problem. It would help if they muscled up the front end a bit and threw a V8 in it. A Miata with a loping cam would squash the chick car image real quick.
I’m not sure I agree with a Dodge Charger or Magnum being a soccer mom car. That must be a pretty manly neighborhood you live in. “The Hellcat is just for the wife to take the kids to school in, but you should see my car” lol.

Hellcat I would not include, but where i live, the base Charger is the soccer mom car for soccer moms who want to be cooler than minivan drivers. Chysler's Trenton engine plant is about 500 yards from out township, so Chargers are pretty common. At one time I stared to believe every driveway except ours had at least one Charger in it. The soccer moms seem to be too practical to buy an SRT or a Hellcat, but they love their chargers, especially the AWD ones.
