Hey, gang! Since we had such a hoot with "Worst Cars of the Millenniun" how about having a go at this? And remember: Keep your punches clean and no hitting below the belt. At the sound of the bell come out fighting. **DING** )
Presenting....The Ultimate Chick Cars of all Time
#5 Dodge Neon
Neons are Barbie cars: little and cute and rounded in the hips. Even in black, they are feminine and adorable, only just a bit tougher, like Tattoo Barbie."
#4 VW Jetta
" Anything by Volkswagen is a chick car. VW realized this years ago and joined forces with another company to sell guy cars-- they called that company Porsche."
#3 Mazada Miata
"I discovered this phenomenon when I got a Miata. 'Girlie car'. That all I heard."
#2 VW Cabriolet
"All teen-age girls classify them as cute. 'Nuff said."
#1 VW Beetle
" The VW Beetle. A chick car, definitely. And made to be so. How? I know of no other automoblie with a FLOWER VASE as standard equipment."
Presenting....The Ultimate Guy Cars of All Time
#5 Dodge Viper
"It might be a guy car if there was a movie or TV show built entirely around it. Other examples include Burt Reynold's Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit, Nash Bridges' Hemi Cuba convertible and Jim Rockford's Firebird."
#4 Ford F-150 Pickup
"Any car with numbers or letters for a name, or tacked on the end, can become a guy car. For example, F-150 or Civic-SI."
#3 Chevy Camero
"...with twice the horse power needed. Used to show other guys how manly you really are."
#2 Chevy Corvette
"I believe the main aspect that determines the male/female state of a car is based on the engine compartment(hood)-to-cab-lenght ratio. A car such as a pickup or Corvette has a large hood-to-cab-lenght ratio."
#1 Ford Mustang
"A back seat guaranteed to be too small for your mother-in-law."

Ok, so where does Janet Reno's lil red puke up fit in. It sure ain't no chick rod much less a dude's dragster. Maybe it fit in the catagory of a chevette and pinto

Don't know how you could leave the Honda Civic off your chick car list.
As for guy cars, I can't quarrel with most of the posts, but I'll take my Porsche 911 any day. I've never had so much fun with a car.

One more for the road: This probably isn't a chick
car but could be a Euroguy's wheels - perhaps a
French design.

I've owned a Mazda Miata and a Mustang GT. Neither are "chick cars".

Don't know about you but Goats went away, Mustangs did not. Have you seen the 04 models of both? The GTO is a Firebird on acid(admittedly a nice engine, but the package it's in leaves A LOT to be desired), while the 04 Mustang is a throwback to the 67-68 model.
To: motzman
Say what you want about the 1960's iron, I dearly loved the 97 Aurora I owned for four years. V-8 power, 25 miles per gallon, and I could get in and drive two or three hundred miles without being tired. I would've bought another except for my need for a pickup.

I agree. While I do own a Miata and I am a chick, I have noticed many more males driving Miatas than females.

I would give just about anything to have either one of those. Oh well...maybe in the next life.

McQueen's been dead for fifteen years, not still racing. Also, both Paul Newman and James Garner raced for years as pros in places like Monte Carlo.

Wasn't there a 1600 Tii or something like that ? Seems like I knew a guy in Iowa City who had one back in 1970-71.

Corvette = girl car (usually young "blonde"; "uncle" bought car for her)
ANY mini-van = girl car
Jeep Wrangler = gay car (in South Florida, anyway)
Chrysler Sebring convertible = middle aged gay tourist car

I've owned a '74 Corvette, a '67 383 Charger, and a cute blue '70 Karmann Ghia ragtop in my bachelor days. Guess which one was best for picking up chicks? Hint - it wouldn't rank high on many guy car lists.
To: AFVetGal
How would that account for Porsche 911s?

My old MGB was a boy car but I loved it.
Here in Maine Subaru Outbacks are for homosexuals and lesbians.

Janet is living proof that real men drive pick ups.
Mr. Bean drives a Mini and that does not seem to affect him.
