As corrected, it's an RCZ. I wonder why you seem to be offended with what I wrote. Why should I provide statistics to backup my op? Even if 90% of men would buy this car because of thé testeron boost it would give them, I still would find it a girly car.
Now, The 307cc and 308cc are both cars that are driven mainly by women (as you stated for the 207cc) and elderly people. Still if I had the money I would buy one instantly.

To the original poster (@Thomasss95), I don't find the MX-5 NC a girly car. Pretty neutral to me.
Why?
Because I don't get hung over what makes a car feminine or masculine. If I like the design, I like the design. If I like how it drives, I like how it drives. The point of the Miata is to enjoy the driving experience (even though I know zero people who owns one because... welcome to the South). If you overlook what it's purpose was to do, you missed the entire point of what the car was made for. Besides, all opinions on how it looks will vary (background, who they were around, etc), so it wouldn't be surprising that some might call it girly even if every single owner was male.
And how did homosexuality get thrown into the mix? One irrelevant characteristic of a person does not define someone's opinions on cars. I'm gay and I like old cars, new cars, convertibles, sedans, coupes, and estates. It doesn't mean it's the same for others. Stereotypes doesn't always apply to each person.

Indeed, that got me thinking... Because I want to buy one this summer in real life (that's why I use it a lot online lately).

I wouldn't bother. I'm gonna guess they are young teenagers who, due to immaturity and naivety, hail TopGear as the best source of opinion on cars ever, rather than maybe gaining opinions from experience.
It's basically a worthless insult thrown around. I've been called a homosexual by said people because I was driving a Mazda Autozam online. It means nothing to me, and really shouldn't affect your buying choice one bit.
That's fine, but I think the problem isn't if it would be too girly, but if you'd enjoy it. It's your choice and that Civic driver saying "pft. Girls car" is on their mum's insurance

Usual complaints about girliness come from 4 dudes in a Mustang V6 convertible...
Which are to be ignored.

It shouldn't. 'Boyish' isn't.
But, in comparison, (even though I would get a Miata in a flash if I could afford one - it looks so much fun) I would think the Miata is somewhat 'girlish' when compared with these ladies:
Then again, a whole bunch of cars are going to appear not merely girly but sheepish if pursued by these ladies.

A Mazda MX-5 is not girly. An SLK 350 is.

I personally think the body style is really feminine looking but I can appreciate them for being cheap,rwd and good track performers.
Same with mini coopers, s2000's and fiats. They look feminine to me but I can appreciate their performance.
I just would probably never own one though.

Who cares if it's girly? You don't have to think that femininity is something negative.
I don't think it's particularly girly. There's certainly more feminine cars out there.

Why would matter if someone considers a car "girly" (or, since trucks were brought up for some unknown reason, "to compensate")? People buy cars because they want them- nothing more, nothing less.
My aunt owns one. She bought it to have something good in the snow, but lately she's been trying to persuade my uncle to allocate funds to lift it for off-road purposes and is also trying to talk my dad into not selling his CJ7 so she can wheel with another family member.That... Doesn't explain the Wrangler. It's pretty much anything but "girly" in terms of appearance (at least in 90% of colors) yet both parties seem to love them.
