The cars that brake for you...going forward and backing up. The cars that parallel park for you. The cars that drive themselves. Cars that have warnings about blind spots in the side view mirrors. That’s what women want. Idiot women anyway. What man wants a car that does all that? Driving the bloody thing is more than half the fun.

I could ask someone I'd never met 10 questions and get a pretty good handle on what kind of car they need;

Which is why the best listeners are the best sales people.

Yep. Again broad brush, but women are more reluctant to change than men.

When a man feels undervalued he looks elsewhere and demands more. If he is worth more and demands it, most of the time he’ll get it. If not, he’ll go somewhere else and get it.

Women tend to wait for a raise, and that isn’t the way the world works. Other than small cost of living increases, companies rarely give preemptive raises without any pressure to do so.

I’ve read that the gigantic tail lights on cars these days are the result of focus groups with women, they look safer.

My wife had a couple of Saturns and they were great cars.

We’re Toyota people these days.

Turbo charger, one of the most expensive things to fix on a motor.

The main reason they fail is that whoever does the oil change, does not crank the engine with the spark plugs out of the loop for about 15 seconds...to send oil to the turbo before starting the engine.

Whole lotta claptrap and male stereotyping going on here. Kinda hurts the author’s point.

Yep, I got a ‘09 Tacoma, still not a squeak or rattle to be found. The wife had her mind made up for a Avalon ‘till I got her to drive a couple of the BMWs.......that was as they say, the end of that argument.

To broad brush, it was once said that women are more focused on the cosmetic aspects, and men more focused on the mechanical aspects.

Nowadays however, when I see the entitled, ignorant, materialistic, consumerist mouth-breathers that surround me I think all bets are off - the masses just want their shiny stuff.

No further thought is required for them.

I am validating your generalization in that I (a woman) detest haggling so I go into the dealership with my set terms for which they have two options - take it or leave it.
