By this logic, no self-respecting man would ever be caught dead in a C-Class...or a 3-Series...or an A4. I guess luxury car manufacturers should stop selling their "plebe" level sedans. Especially, the C55's/C63's, the 335i's, and S4's of the world. Since "real" men shouldn't even be thinking about those cars, and since women generally don't care about having all that power...or maybe they should just put makeup/vanity mirrors at strategic points around the driver's seat of each of those cars.

Who is this guy Thomas Bey and what does HE drive?

This guy is seriously confused..
about the Mini he says
"The hatchback is one of the most rewarding drives available"
So, OK, he likes hatchbacks, right?
But wait...
"Mercedes-Benz and hatchbacks: These are things that don’t belong together."
So, it's OK for BMW to make a hatch and name it after a marginal tin can of a death trap car with 10" wheels and what, a 20HP engine built by the British...
But MB gives it a go, and....

". The single redeeming value was not the Starmark emblem on the hood, but the supercharger beneath it, enabling a marginally rapid getaway if any friends spot you driving it. "

I wrote him as below...

"Thomas,
You ignorant ****.
I picture you smugly driving around in your smartly appointed Ford Focus, or perhaps a Volvo....
no, wait for it....
A Toyota Prius.
Sitting in Judgment of those lesser beings who don't drive E Classes? I sincerely doubt you are will find yourself driving one at any time in your pitiful existence.
I fart in your general direction you silly English type person.

Sincerely,

C230 Sport Coup

This whole "chick car" thing is so silly. A car dealer friend of mine (worked at a Porsche/VW/Audi dealer) was able to get the Beetle right when it came out, and he was proud of it (at the time). Even so, he had the nerve to call my coupe a "chick car". Hey, at least mine doesn't come with a useless excuse for a flower pot; mine comes with a useless excuse of a cupholder instead.

Top 10 Chick cars according to me:

10. Chrysler PT Cruiser (is there an uglier more pointless car on the market? Yes, it's based on the Neon)
9. Toyota RAV4
8. Toyota Prius ("Wee! I don't know anything but where the gas goes in, but I feel so much better about my contribution to pollution when I'm not driving the Suburban solo!")
7. Ford Focus (US version)
6. Toyota Corolla
5. Saturn- Anything from Saturn
4. BMW 3 series (non m3)
3. VW Beetle
2. Mini-Vans of any type, and/or SUV's with lots of seats for the soccer Mom and kids.
and the #1 chick car of all time...
1. The VW Cabriolet (glorified Rabbit)


I resisted the urge to put the SLK in here....I know you guys would freak, but IMHO, it's a chick
car unless it's an SLK32. Most guys would be hard pressed to fit, at least here in the US.

I hate these kind of articles. I think that the G8 GT is a girls car and I think thats only because my best friends sister got it as her first car. I link her to the G8 GT and whenever I see it I think of her eventhough I highly doubt Pontiac would consider that a girly car, or 50 Cent.

that's funny...
here in Germany, there's more chicks driving E-Classes than anyone else.
Wait I take that back, most taxis are E-Classes, so it's a stinky taxi-driver / chick car !

I was proud to drive around in the new Beetle 1.8T from 2000-2007 yo! too bad the reliability of the car is just

and NUMBER 1 chick car of ALL time = W208 CLK and I'm not joking. my sister has one, my bro's high school friend has one, my friend's wife had one, neighbors down two ends of the street has'em, and all of them 208s are WHITE!! I also constantly see them been driven by women more than men. YES, even more chick car than w203.
