Guys cars vs Chick cars
"Any car painted in pink, light blue, or champagne is a chick car.
1)
Any "sports car" that is available only with a four-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission is a chick car.
2) Any car whose name means nothing is a chick car. This explains why a Camry is a chick car, but a Neon is not.
3)
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.
4) Any car that has been refinished with sufficient dents, missing parts, rust, bondo, and primer paint so that it can only be identified from five feet away in direct sunlight can be considered a guy's car. "

"GUY CARS:
- Full-sized pickup truck. Won't haul kids, but will haul 4x8 sheetrock. Points lost if it's too shiny.
- Cars with twice the horsepower needed. Used to show other guys how manly you really are.
- Ford Mustang (hardtop with V8 only). See above. Also benefit of having no place for a baby seat.
- Chevy Camaro: See Ford Mustang.
-
Mercedes 500 Series, BMW 7 Series: No woman would ever spend that much on a car. (She would buy an SUV and have the living room redecorated.) It must be a guy car. "

I believe the main aspect that
determines the male/female state of a car is based on the engine-compartment-(hood)-to-cab-length ratio. A car such as a pickup or Corvette has a large hood-to-cab-length ratio, while a station wagon or hatchback or minivan or most small cars have a much smaller ratio. Of course, the SUV-class vehicles are an abomination and seem to have a guy-car aspect while having a low ratio. "

ANYTHING by Volkswagen is a chick car. VW realized this years ago and started another company to sell guy cars--they called that company Porsche. " LOL
