More than you think. For one thing, aging male Baby Boomers who drove the old air-cooled Beetles from the 1960's, when it was considered one of the Counterculture vehicles. Hippie commune families used to travel around in....and sometimes live in.......VW Microbuses. Just like many people today are scooping up Mustangs because it reminds them of the ones 40 years ago..........same with the Beetle.

This whole article proves what I've said for years.....the nonsense of trying to stereotype car purchases. This "chick car" stuff exists mostly in people's minds....not actual fact.

Even the most popular so-called "female" car on the list (the Tiguan) still has almost 40% of its buyers as male. With the last few cars on the list, the ratio is almost 50/50.

What's wrong with my yellow turbo Beetle? Do you not like the daisy I put in the plastic holder?

Yes indeed. We all know that driving an RX will magically castrate you and cause you to fill out a D-Cup. Gee...you could even save money on a sex-change operation.
