Sorry to be a sour puss but I wouldn't want a girl who was attracted to my car...or any material object. I want them to be hooked on me, not my things. I've never even thought about this subject. Women can tell when a man is insecure. Having a car be part of your game is def a lack of confidence. Step up to the plate, get your game together. In fact, I've heard a lot of girls talk and they think a guy with a hot car is making up for some other shortcomings...if you get my drift.

This forum amazes me. We get such in depth and soul searching topics and questions such as: How do you drive your Lexus? Where do you wash your Lexus? What is your age? There are even times when a true discussion of the cars happens. And now 
advice to the down trodden, insecure, lack of confidence car owner. The next things that I am sure we will get are Dear Abby posts, how to win friends and influence people, save the environment discussions and finally how to eat healthy while driving your Lexus.

I'm not surprised to see that the SC430 holds second place considering this is a Lexus forum. However, If anything, the SC is a chick car, not a chick magnet. The only time I can see an SC attracting a women is if they want to get the same car for themselves, not because it poses some masculine presence (women typically prefer a car with a more masculine presence when they hunt for their prey). My list would go as follows:
1.) Mercedes-benz SL
2.) BMW M3 Convertible
3.) Porsche Boxster
4.) Chevrolet Corvette
5.) MB CLK55 AMG Cabriolet
6.) Audi TT Roadster
7.) Lexus SC430
8.) Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible
I have to say though that with the proper set of rims (deep-dish), black exterior and red interior, the SC430 would be two or three notches higher on my list. But then again do that to all the cars (except the SAAB
) it would be equal again.

Here is my take of how women MAY perceive these cars:
Lexus SC 430: great for attracting mid-40s women- divorcees and/or realtors.
Don't get me wrong, I love the SC- but the customer demographic is more... "sophisticated."
Saab: a what? Are they still in business? Saabs and Volvos are still for CPAs.
Can't you lease those for $299 a month?
Porsche Boxster: may impress girls, but not women. Entry level Porsche. A player would be in a 911.
Audi TT convertible: Your ex-wife's car you somehow got in the divorce.
Corvette convertible: (Let me just say I DO like this car...) but owners are typically 50 year-old guys with a gut. Maybe balding. Not a young guy's car.
Mercedes SL (R230 chassis): You can get away with this car anyplace, any age.
If you're a player, you'll step-up for the SL55 or better. Women of all ages respect it.
Mercedes CLK55: A nice "almost made it" car. The CLK is not the most masculine car on the planet, though...
BMW M3: "Around these parts," you look like every other UCI student in one of these. .
To women, it's a fancy 3-series. She'll give you her number... AFTER you step-up to a 6-series.
Of this list, the clear winner is the SL.

id agree, the MB SL is the car that will get you the most attention... masculine, modern, and exotic looking. secondly i would say the MB CLK55 cabrio... still the benz name that they know... looks slightly outdated but still expensive and exotic. then the porsche, because of brandname...most girls sort of think of the M3 as just an expennsive 3 series... not all that special, still it comes next, the vette is probably too harsh of a ride and too crappy of an interior. the audi TT and SC430 are girls cars... girls would want the car for themselves. it is more of a "cute" girls car. any that argue for the SC... see the 4000 lb only comes in automatic beast.

2. Its a Lexus
3. Nothing else looks like it
4. Top notch luxury
5. Convertible hard top.
Shallow for a woman to like and to say, yes but you put those 5 characteristics to most ANY brand, woman will like it. MEN will like it.
