i bet most just see $$$$$>$$$$>$$$>$$>$ on perceived value.

for instance the GTR is more money that the F, but my wife straight laughed when i tried explaining the performance difference and just responded with so what, it's a nissan. but at least my wife thought she beat me by allowing me to get the lexus, and i won because i got the F. it is what it is...

Did any of you guys see that episode of Manswers. Apparently women are more attracted to men with larger vehicles like trucks and SUV's. This appeals to them mainly because women would rather drive a big vehicle instead of a sports car.

But if its cars we're talking about, then bmw, porsche, mb.

Depends on what type of ladies you want to attract. If you are going for a golddigger, then definitely any expensive car will do...not a good idea to meet someone based on material wealth unless you are looking for a one night stand.

lol you and my wife should talk she says she's getting a lot of attention on the road too, and she usually responds nicely with a tap on the gas

Well, lotta guessing here...and I've never owned a P car but here's what 3 different women said to me about my car, an F...one on a date, one neighbor walking her dog while I was washing it, one buddy's GF. And I summarize:

Date : Conversation drifted to people and their cars...she had an A4...said Classy but yet mean looking and sounding...kinda sexy...

Neighbor: Hi...nice car...I've always wanted a Lexus....that's the wild one, right? Love the exhaust tips and the color....beautiful.

Buddy's GF - Very nice, love the "wheels" and interior is so classy....exhaust is cool...not too loud like you have something to prove and a small wee wee, but powerful and yet kinda restrained.

I am not making this up.

There's the old saying, "The vette makes 'em wet." However, the best reports I've heard are from owners of 60's Cadillac convertibles. Women seem to dig those big comfy luxo-verts.

Most higher-end cars might do.

However, for most high-school and college chicks (especially in our campus), it's mostly this:




I've seen three of these on campus (one black, one red and one green unit).

Yup chicks in our campus dig this thing haha

No surprise.

Regular 3 and 5 series outsell M3. Regular GS and IS models outsell IS-F, etc., etc....

Thanks for that perspective. You can always tell when men are trying too hard.

I'll never forget this one date I had in my modified GS 400 and the comment she made when we were parking and she got out the car. She looked it over again and grinned and said something like this;

"You know your car is really nice. Its not overdone and it doesn't scream attention. It took me awhile but its clear you did things to it to make it look better but its not so obvious to be obnoxious. I hate all these guys in these flashy cars with chrome everywhere and it seems so desperate".

It made me smile and we both got to smile later.

I have to agree. If a guy keeps it simple and clean, I'd be more impressed whether it was a $20K car or $200K car.
