This actually rings true. I've known one male who's driven one, but dozens of women. I would guess that this and any non WRX Subaru are the least likely cars to have a Y chromosome behind the wheel.

Loll the IS is driven by a lot of "ABGs" aka asian baby girls.

On a side note I was at the dealer today and took a seat in this "new" IS. Looks amazing from outside but the interior is definitely a deal killer. It's 95% carry over from before.

Can You Guess This New Lexus Before its Debut?

https://lexusenthusiast.com/2021/02/...ore-its-debut/

Quote:


Lexus has shared another early look at their next vehicle launch with Lexus Enthusiast, giving us a second teaser before any other media outlets. Before we dig deeper, let’s recap our thoughts on the first teaser from last week:



There are certainly no rules in regards to engine cover design, and there’s every possibility of a new powertrain lurking under this plastic shield. However, for the sake of analysis, let’s assume the V8 is the engine. The major difference is the logo — instead of the stylized F of the Lexus high-performance F brand, this new vehicle will be released as an F SPORT product.

The LC 500 is the only existing model to have the V8 and not offer a F SPORT option, but it feels too late in the coupe’s lifecycle to introduce such a model (Lexus does not generally change the engine cover as part of the F SPORT package). It could also be a V8 option for the LS, though again, the timing doesn’t seem right and the chance of aggravating current LS owners seems too great a risk.

All of this runaround logic brings us to the most obvious option — Lexus trademarked the IS 500 nameplate last year, and rumors from the usually-reliable Best Car Magazine suggest a V8 version of the IS has been in the pipeline for some time.

Given all we were able to decipher from a simple engine cover, this new image does little to dissuade our opinion that a special edition IS is on the way. In fact, compare this c-pillar with the existing 2021 IS, and the conclusion seems pretty obvious:



More details are sure to come in the following days, stay tuned for more updates about this vehicle as we get closer to the reveal date.

I would say a similar female percentage are buying 3 series and C class MB.

Subarus are regionally over/under represented but I haven't known only women buying them.

Lots of d bags in WRXs though, douchey-ness transcends gender.

Yeah, I was kidding due to the flak I've been catching on here for owning one. The sarcasm only comes through if you read from the beginning...and if no posts have been deleted.
