Women driven cars

I am curious if someone out there knows on what brand names and styles
in which women buy their cars most? I assume that the car industry
keeps track on the gender for certain style of cars that they are
targeting.
As an example, I like the style of this Ford Cougar (coupe - 2 doors,
late 1990s or early 2000s). My daughter said that this car is mostly
driven by women. I don't know where she got that idea. I guess some
women have preferences on certain styling of cars more than men.
So is there a list somewhere which shows what cars most women buy or
preferred?

It's pretty well accepted that most women prefer SUVs for the feeling of
sitting up high. An interesting statistic I saw once stated that ~95% of VW
Cabrio owners were women. Since then, I've intentionally checked the driver
of every Cabrio I've seen. So far I haven't found even one guy driving one.
I don't know what attracts women to the Cabrio, but maybe it's the same
thing that attracts them to the Cougar coupe? (cute?) So it seems to fall
into two extremes, either massive SUV or micro-mini. -Dave

I always called those the 'highschool princess mobile'. (after some
particular girls I went to HS with, but can't even remember the names
or faces anymore.... )

Usually the woman driven cars are the ones you will find parked on the curb,
or smashed up (lack of ability). Other than that anything "cute".

I let my sis-in-law use my car while I was stationed overseas. I was only
gone a year. When I got back, the car had MANY large dents that weren't
there when I left. I actually didn't care at all. The car was old, I knew
I was going to get rid of it soon, and the dents were actually a GOOD thing.
Right after I got that car back, all banged up and looking like something
out of a horror movie, I started driving in MA. I know that car is the only
thing that kept me alive in MA until I was used to the way the locals drive.
As soon as I bought a brand new car, the local drivers were deliberately out
to murder me. But by then, I'd had enough time to observe the massholes
that I was prepared for tactics like that. If I'd have brought that car to
MA WITHOUT the dents, I probably wouldn't have survived the first week
driving in Massachusetts. But as it looked like the kind of vehicle that is
driven by a psychopath, the local drivers gave me plenty of room, always.
So my SIL actually did me a huge favor by beating the crap out of my car.

To name 3:

Acura CL 3.2 2 door
Acura TL 3.2 4 door
Toyota Solara 2 door

One machine can do the combined work of fifty ordinary men.
There is no machine that can do the work of one extraordinary man.

Most of my car is a 1970 Dodge pickup in Caltrans orange with a 318
engine.

Gotta agree with this one. Usually attractive women too.

Also, Saturns (usually unattractive occupants).

SUV moms are also very typical with ingrown cellphones.

Hrmph. I much preferred driving with the so-called "Massholes"
than I do now with the so-called "drivers" in California. People
in Boston drive like they've got somewhere to go, don't suffer fools
lightly, and expect you to not be lame. Unlike CA, where among
other things people give you the finger for not letting them in
when you blow at 'em and/or have to swerve out of their way because
they tried to come into the lane you're in on the street from a turn.

I drove around in a '77 Ford Granada (V-8) for 20 years. Prior to that was
a '62 Ford Galaxie which left the Thunderbird in the dust!
My son's girlfriend drives around in a snazzy '67 Malibu. My sister learned
to drive using an old Ford pick-up truck with manual steering and stick
shift. When she had to shift gears, she used both her hands...and to steer
the damn thing around the corner she was practically wrapping herself around
the steering wheel while pulling all her weight into it. It was hilarious!

Take care,
