There wasn't the need for a study on this topic. It is already understood. The study just made the truth a truth.

Nothing silly about that at all:

Hopefully, the cow is a non-smoker.

Welcome to CL and CAR CHAT. I see you are a brand-new poster. Glad to have you with us.

Actually, it is not as simple an issue as you make it. As I pointed out in a earlier post, many women don't need (or care to) be picked up by men in sports cars. These days, a lot of women own and drive sports cars of their own.....especially Miatas. Or, they just aren't into sports cars at all.

Ridiculous study, cant these so called psychologists find anything better to do. Who cares.
I drive what i want to and what i like, if a woman likes it its just a bonus. Who wants to even be associated with someone solely based on what you or what they drive.

People are so materialistic in society its pathetic...study that.

I've received various compliments from girls about the SC. It's an old Lexus yet still gets compliments, I'm not complaining! But they don't mention the model, just "Nice Lexus." I do believe girls are attracted to "nice" cars, not necessarily sports cars. So it could be like an Infiniti, Acura, etc. But IMO, any guy who NEEDS a car to boost his game needs some serious game adjustment.

This is wrong. I rode my motorbike on the street for 2 years, and never picked up any girls. I must be a pretty ugly dude.

Question Cars Women Are Attracted To

If there is already a thread about this, then a link would be much appreciated, cause I couldn't find one.

Anyway, what kind of cars are women attracted to? What I mean by this, what car would a woman love to see a guy in?

Basically this..


I know most are going to be sports cars or luxury cars, but what makes and models?

Sadly, I don't know any Lexus models that women are attracted to, besides the ISF n LFA. I know that the GS has a much more sporty look to it, but the E-Class and 5 series are still dominating that market.

Cars that I think come to mind are:
Mercedes S-Class
Range Rover
ANY Porsche

But what other cars are out there? Is there a survey out there, cause I couldn't find one..

[Note: I know, Lambos n ferarris, but I'm thinking of cars that aren't supercars].

If you want to attract women, get a puppy, not a car

Pretty sure most people who will reply to this thread will be anecdotal evidence.

I hope you're not buying a car to impress women because I think most women who are impressed by a fancy car will likely not be into you for you.

My first thoughts is that most buy sports cars to go fast and girls like guys who like to speed and break the law (whole bad boy thing). But I believe that while some girls are attracted to the car you drive. If you have a nice car, then the car you drive is a bonus (deal sealer) if you already caught their attention prior.
I believe age is a factor too.
