"Feminine" Cars

[T5-R]

Dodge LaFemme. The original girl car. I hear Volvo's cars are now designed for women.

Hope you mean the concept car that was designed by women, for women! And yes it sounded/looked pretty crappy.

Seems to be quite a few women driving Volvo V40 estates, my bro had one as a courtesy car. Can't say it was very impressive, 850 is far far better.

I'd say Mazda MX-5s are girly too & Copens ( anyone remember Jeremy Clarkson in one). Oh I'm not sure if someones mentioned this before, but I'll mention it again anyway the Vauxhall Tigra & the Ford Puma.

Are you off? Sting could go for sixty, seventy straight hours. He could put most wild animals to shame.

He recently admitted that "7 hours of sex was mainly 6 and half hours of me begging"...

Miatas are in my eyes, a leightwieght autocross weapon. the SCCA even now has a class of cars I think is called, 'Spec Miata'. The Miata is the ultimate everyday/weekend poor man's car

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a Beetle RSi. Just the concept. I've never seen one on the street...

Volvo's do seem to be primarily women's cars. Perhaps the male symbol in the Volvo logo attract them. Hmmm....

I don't think the Opel Tigra or the Ford Puma are girly. The Puma is more of a mean car in a cute package. And as far as Volvo goes, ever heard of that YCC Concept Car? That one made by women, or so? Anyhow, it's said it was made for both men and women, despite the female building of the car. That S60R is all-manly with its power. When I seen this car at the Houston Auto Show this year, I thought i was looking at a homologated race car for the street. I mean, with tuning and performance upgrades, you have your weapon for SPEED GT. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

Continue discussion of "Feminine" cars, please. I'm sorry I can't say "girly" as McLaren'sAngel did on Page 2, but continue discussion, please.

I think we can all agree that anything that looks girly on the outside (ex. Miata) is not a girl's car if it has good performance, unless of course the car looks like the S2000 in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Also, anyone who thinks the G35 coupe and the 350Z are girl cars are just plain mad. Both have great performance, and in my opinion they are probably the best looking cars on the road for under $50,000 Canadian. I aspire to own at least one of these cars in my lifetime, because they can be reliable daily drivers, and obviously have great performance.

As for Volvos, I wouldn't consider them girl's cars if they had some actual performance under the hood. I'm fairly sure Volvo doesn't make a car currently that can do 0-60 in under 6 seconds, if not 7. And they do look a bit girly in appearence now that most of you have brought this up.

 

[Victor Vance]

Couldn't agree more. Even though it's the Fairlady Z, it's not just for ladies. And anyone who disrespects the G35 Coupe is insulting the Skyline name.

 

[T5-R]

Well I'm not sure if things are different in the US, but most Volvo drivers I see are men, unfortunately a number are old men Apart from V40s, which seem to be mostly be driven by women.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure about under 6 seconds 0-60mph but I'm pretty sure the S60R, 850 T-5R & 850 R & all do it under 7 seconds. All reaching a limited 155mph. And atleast if you were to crash you'd be glad your in a Volvo

Must work well since the police in the UK atleast use em(V70s & used to use 850s).

 

[Victor Vance]

That vs. one of your Volvos, which do you think would win?
Ford Crown Victoria, 4.6L SOHC V-8, 239 HP, 4057 lbs., RWD.

The Citroen C3 Pluriel. 'Cause it just makes you think of having a picnic.
I have actually told my male D.T teacher ,who has a Miata/MX-5, that he owns a 'hairdressers car'.
I believe all convertible conversions for small cars are for women. 206CC, VW and VW cabriolet, C3 & pluriel, the SteetKa, Megane convertible (?) and Peugot 307CC.

 

[Victor Vance]

Chrysler Sebring. It's like a Chevrolet Cavalier convertible, all show and no go. Lets hope one the Solstice takes over the Sunfire/Cavalier convertible's spot it's a better car...

 

[STi AdDiCt]

i mostly see women with with any type of Kia, mercury cougar, scion xb, dodge avenger

 

[Driftster]

Newer BMW 325i's tend to be driven by females around here....Same for Merc Kompressors of the "hatch" variety.

 

[Famine]

I don't think the Opel Tigra or the Ford Puma are girly. The Puma is more of a mean car in a cute package.

The Tigra is a Corsa coupe with a 1.4 or 1.6 engine (a whole 106hp). The Puma is a Fiesta coupe with a 1.4 or 1.7 engine.

My car is often confused for one or the other - except it's a foot longer than the Tigra (12'10" to 13'1" to 13'10") and has a V6. Yet it still gets called a "girl's car" by people who know squat.

 

[240Z]

A gay secretary at my old school drives a Mercedes Hatch. BTW, Kompressor is not the model name, it means the car has a supercharger (or turbo, I forget which).

Really? I haven't seen a single woman yet driving an xB. (I've seen 5 or six xA women drivers though and one tC woman driver)

240, it is indeed a supercharger. AMG, or Diamler-Benz in general, preaches the belt driven horsepower gods, not the exhaust driven ones (except on diesel where supercharging don't make as much sense)

 

[Driftster]

Vance...The First Tuner Transformation Scion Monstrosity was an Ex Porn Star Womans xB
Complete with flame vynll...for the Limited Edition HOT LAVA paint job.

 

[Victor Vance]

ex porn star? Why would a woman with curves (I'm assuming) buy a square box?

Well that episode happened to be the ONLY funny episode ever.......They kept reffering it to the Box inside the Box inside the Box

 

[JohnBM01]

I thought the funniest "Tuner Transformation" yet is when TT dealt with that Toyota AE85 (or Toyota Corolla GTS of 1985). The car needed a tuner job, the team was trying to get it to start and all that. That thing was a lemon, and I was laughing my butt off!

I seen about 4 Mini Coopers today. It's a fun car, but it isn't girly. With some mods, it can be girly. A tuner girl with plans to paint one up in baby plue or hot pink, do whatever you want because it's nw feminine. And pink Cadillacs? Manly despite the pink color. Carry on.

 

[Victor Vance]

TT tuned a hachi roku? Sweet. Maybe I should ask them about my RA60 when I turn 16

I think they would probably be fairly evenly matched until they reached a corner, the Volvo isn't exactly a TVR but it probably handles better than a Ford Crown Victoria, atleast after watching how they perform in 'Police Videos'
Volvo V70 T5 (Standard spec, not Police spec), In-line 5 2.3L Turbo, 250 HP@5200 RPM, 3526 lbs(1600KG)., FWD.

 

[Famine]

Oh, I forgot. The girliest car ever is the Suzuki X90.

Even Graham Norton doesn't want one, because it's too gay.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Got to mention the Vitara as well, not quite so girly but not exactly manly either.

 

[ND4SPD]

Well in my area the girliest car would have to be a Mazda Tribute, everytime I see one its always being driven by women in their 30's. Its kinda funny, plus my parents have one so it makes it funnier for me.All the miata's here are mostly driven by men who are in there 40's.
