Not surprised by any of them... except the Z4. I wonder how many people discuss that on the BMW forums? It was such a hot topic here.

I guess I'm metrosexual. I like both the IS and Audi models.
The RR is nice too but the performance isn't all that great. Way too heavy.

There was never any real foundation that the SLK was a chick car. I would assume it appeals equally to men as well as women. For those that don't like the SLK or jealous of those that have one, calling it a "chick car" would be a big negative.

The SLK is an awesome car. Such a fun little thing to toss around. It's my favorite of all the cars Mercedes makes in fact I'm working on my 3rd SLK now. Wonder what the new version will bring to the table when it comes out 3 or 4 years from now.

I haven't been on bimmer forums in a couple of days, I'm tempted to post it there, then I might get **** from them since I drive a 'girls' car. lol. I've read an article, posted either here or benzworld.org that the r171 attracts alot more males than females with their F1 nose styling, females prefer the r170

Who cares if its a Male or a Female's car, Consediring its just metal on wheels and not actually clothing . At the end its just a car that takes you from Point A to Point B with many nice features such as Folding Metal roof compared to the other manufacturers that offer Soft top and hard top that doesnt fold.

I have to agree with no 8, I see quiet alot of Female's who drive the Range Rover Sport HSE and Supercharged.
