Feminine and masculine cars.

Chuck Stone · 15-04-2011 06:05PM #1

Okay we all know that cars are either female or male in appearance.

Take the Opel Tigra.

Just about as feminine (or effeminate at the very least) as you can get.

OTOH we have a car like the dodge challenger

Which is masculine looking.

What say you? (Bonus points for pics)

Definitely masculine.

i can see this descending into nonsense...as it's very subjetcive to begin with and people will start getting very worked up. along the lines of "you said i have a gay car" or "girly" car....

Cars like the challenger are robust looking, with chunky designs and squared edges, also "aggressive" looking, a sort of super macho look, but if you look a the flowing curved lines of something like an E type jaguar you could say it was more "feminine" and elegant in design, but a lot of it is due to image and people's own perceptions

Rs4 - masculine

People are just posting cars that are driven by male or female drivers mostly or that look cool.

That E39 M5 looks quite feminine to me.

The only way to judge if a car looks feminine or masculine is to have a face on view because it is the face of the car that makes it feminine or masculine.

MASCULINE

FEMININE

Mazda MX5

Thread cleaned up - let's stay relatively on-topic please

A Vitara is the girliest car ever imo

I think its down to personal preference...
Maybe some men feel they have to justify their sexuality by getting a 'masculine' car;),
now what makes a car masculine or feminine i've really no idea! Its a car. A metal box devoid of sexual emotion.

The Peugeot 206 came up a few times as being feminine, the same 206 that won the WRC!
Another favorite, "I'd drive a (new)mini cooper S, but wouldn't be seen in a (new)cooper..."

Masculine/feminine is not the issue...blokes will pay out for cars which are described as 'pretty' for instance.

The question is whether the car looks good or not.

TBH, many (if not most) men are afraid to trust their own judgement when it comes to the appearance of a car. They want cars that will look well to the people they're trying to impress.

What about the VW golf? Asexual?

-Chris- · 15-04-2011 08:52PM

Probably, Golf and Focus (and probably Tiida) seem pretty sexless.

Weedikins · 15-04-2011 08:59PM

Dunno why, but any coupe looks to me like a man's car.

-Chris- · 15-04-2011 09:01PM

A Ford Probe or Hyundai Coupe seem feminine to me.

Also, old TT seems feminine, new TT seems masculine

Weedikins · 15-04-2011 09:04PM

Actually, you're right about the hyundai coupe.

ShadowHearth · 15-04-2011 09:06PM

Oh god.. Not this thread again...

I better hide with my mx5, before you eat me alive.... I guess skyline evens out my feminine side...

This thread wount last long lads.

Forest Master · 15-04-2011 09:09PM

The Mini and the Hyundai Coupe are probably the most feminine.

Chuck Stone · 15-04-2011 09:12PM

Very masculine imo.

PARKHEAD67 · 15-04-2011 09:15PM

Hummers seem prety feminine to me.Loads of space in the back for the little darlings. And we all know how good ladies are at parking big Sports Utility Vehicles(or whatever they call em).Theyre excellent at it for those of you who didnt know.

the front certainly has a manly aggressive look to it, the back looks a little too curvy for my tastes though

Voodoomelon · 15-04-2011 09:27PM

Scirocco, defo unisex to me.

I like seeing pretty girls in big butch cars.

Feminine and masculine cars.
