Haha...all Im saying is that some versions of some models of certain cars are marketed to the female race (yes "race" coz they are so freggin different). These versions of these cars are obviously chik cars.

The coupe is not...

Have you ever seen a coupe that looks like this sold OEM from the factory?



This version of the VW beetle however was marketed and sold exactly like this.

Well I finally sold the car this morning.
A total of about 25 chicks called, 5 took it for a test drive.
3 dudes call, none showed up to drive it.

I sold it to parents that were buying it for their son, however the mom liked it so much she might keep it and give him her old Jeep. Hahahahahaha

While we are being sexist - I thought getting chicks into cars was the whole point

How much did you sell for? Or is that against forum rules to ask or something?

$7500 + $100 for an extra set of 16" twinspoke rims I had.
2003, 58,000mi.
Probably could have gotten more for it but it needs some paint work and people seem to be afraid of stick. Was for sale almost 2 1/2 months, ugh.
