"Women's" Cars?

I've heard some argue that some cars are simply made to be marketed to women - even the current model of Mustang is included in this argument! I've also heard someone say "If there's a mirror in the sunvisor of the DRIVER'S seat, then it's a woman's car."

What do you think? Are some cars just meant for women?

Well I think all automatic cars are a little "girlie" to begin with. As for if the particular type of car is meant for women.... I think it depends on the woman.

But I will admit, that line about the mirror in the driver side visor, did make me think that only a woman would need a mirror in her visor. Then again there are some vain men out there too.

Everyone can be vain to a point but it has nothing to do with women and makeup. I have never tried to apply any makeup while in a car, parked or not. Some chick drivers just make us all look bad.

And depending on the chick (me a tomboy for example but I can still spiff up when needed), can drive a stick.

Well I am a girl and would not drive a pink car. Sorry but thinking every girl likes a pink car is sad.
But I do think some cars are geared towards women more. But then again there are allot of Metro men out there also. How many guys here own a Tiburon, smart car, Acura RSX?

I do believe there are certain cars marketed directly at women. I see lots of cars that look "feminine". They don't necessarily have to be pink in colour.

I have never thought about it really. Personally I like trucks better than cars. And I also can drive a stick shift. On the column or on the floor. I have always been tomboyish though.

I guess when you sit back and think about it, some cars are probably marketed just for the feminine type. I personally love Jeeps. I love to go off roading. I guess I am the tomboyish type as well.

I do think that some cars are marketed primarily to women. This is just a gut feeling, but most women don't personally like the so-called muscle cars and I think they tend to prevent the family size vans. As to pink....some women don't like pink but how many men do?

New mustang is semi gay. But there are certainly far more girlie cars out there.

I would say a honda fit is aimed towards women. I have not met a man who owns one, and the 2 men that I have seen driving them the first words out of their mouths was "its my wifes".
