Default Range Rover Sport Girls' Car???

So today I was asking my best friend, what I should trade in my '10 RX350 for? So I brought up the Range Rover Sport Supercharged and he told me I would be digging my self in the same hole I did when my mom gave me her RX, it a girls' car. My girlfriend(drives a '11 E63) always tells me I have slightly feminine taste in things. So this is my question is it really a girly car, personally I really like the RRS...
Thanks in Advance

I am 16 BTW, and so no one calls me a troll here...

RR Sport is not really seen as a girls car. Sure women drive it but its rather tough and masculine. I think it's fantastic.

a lot of females and soccer moms around my area have range rover sports..actually to think of it, my friends sister has a black sport and my friends girlfriend has a black RR as well. but think about it, girls usually likes what looks good exterior wise, so it has to be something decent looking for it to be a girls car, lol

I see lots of females and males driving both the full-size RRs and the sports. They're both awesome. I'd say your RX is definitely feminine just due to the color. Nothing wrong with that though!

All fine and dandy but who the **** owns an RX and contemplates a RR Sport at 16? And which 16 year old's girlfriend (probably also <16) drives an E63?

At the very least it looks better than the last gen. VW should do a skunk works and fit a Bugatti W16 in there

There are 16 year old kids that got exotic cars as birthday gift, get over it.

And yes I think Range Rovers in general are girly because chicks dig them. Who cares about their image as long as you like it? I hope you got tons of cash laying around to fix it though.

Post a hot picture of your girlfriend.

IMO, you need to find some friends (and a girl-friend) who don't talk a bunch of nonsense....because that is mostly what they are feeding you. With the possible exception of a yellow or pink 1998-2012 Beetle (less-so on the new 2013), there probably is no such thing as a "Girl's Car". My advice is forget about male/female stereotypes, buy and drive what you like, what you or your parents can afford (consider also what insurance will run at your young age), and/or a vehicle that won't cause friction between you and your parents (legally, they are still responsible for you until you are 18).

As far as your girlfriend driving an E63 that new, she must have rich parents. That is a lot of car for a person that young (assuming she's close to your age). And, with almost any AMG Mercedes, if one is not careful with the right foot, their power-level can quickly get one in trouble.

I see mostly men driving Range Rovers. Mist guys around my area put wheels on them too.

It's pretty manly to me. The RX is girly though. I still see a lot of guys driving them.

You just proved why stereotypes are usually nonsense.

Yeah, it's surprising to see. I'd say about a third of the local newer RX drivers are men.

I believe the F Sport trim package was designed to increase male interest in the RX model line.
