I was listening to the Laura Ingraham radio show today and they were talking about how some cars are girly cars and some are manly cars. Laura was particularly mentioning that the Mazda Miata was a girly car. This was news to me. Her assisitant chimed in with saying the Mazda 3 was a girly car. This was also news to me. I'm in the market for a new car and was thinking of buying the MAzda 3 or a Miata. I've been told that the 3 has fewer service issues than other Mazda cars.
Of course one would gather that the manly cars would be trucks.
One girly car I've noticed is the VW Beetle. I've never seen a man driving one of those.
What do Freepers think? What cars are girly cars and what cars are manly cars.
How can I say this so you’ll understand...THE MIATA IS A GIRLY CAR. There’s no debate.
I know that Pontiac is mainly a woman’s brand, and Dodge is mainly a man’s vehicle.
Hey, if you like the car, who cares if it’s “girlie”?!
(besides, I hear they come in lavender ;’}
Actually, Saturn is a very female brand, as well.
In the Army in 1972 other GIs sometimes commented that a 72 Toyota Corolla didn’t seem like the right car for me.
For me it was only about the gas mileage.
You must mean the new Beetle. The old one was driven mostly by men. My own limited observations agree if that is the case.
Except for the Neon...
I’ve driven a Mazda Protege for 12 years now and I’ve never never never heard anyone anywhere say the Miata is a girly car. But then again I think I was the last person on the planet to get a cell phone. LOL!
Guys who drive Miata’s are faggots.< /no need for therapy>
Just don’t get a Subaru unless you are a dyke.
Or a convertable Beemer unless you are a poofer.
I always thought that the Edsel was a feminine looking car . .
Girly Car Ping!
I’ve heard the Miata referred to as a “gay” car too. I’d say screw them, If you like it, buy it, and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. It’s your car, not theirs. I thought about buying one simply because it’s a reasonably priced sports car with good handling, ok power and decent gas mileage. Not to mention a good maintenance record.
Manly Car:
Cooper Mini = Chick Car
Honda Del Sol = Gay Guy Car
When I bought my last car in 1995 I test drove a Saturn. I might have bought it but it had too little leg room. It may not so much be a female car as it’s a small car with little leg room so it appeals to women more than men. Also, Saturn was one of the first companies to hire woman sales people so I’m sure that has some appeal to woman. IMHO!
I have a RAV4 and every woman says how cute it is, I would trade it, but it is too good.
