If anything, its RWD. I would think a FWD would be more "feminine" in nature, if we want to go that route.

As some already mentioned, there is no distinguishing between power of a car with gender of driver. If anything color would be the best indicator.
Nope there isnt. This is just simple observation. "Men always want more power"!!!

These days what isnt a girls car? anything HOT is a girls car. Women drive nice cars too!!

whoever drives a hummer or a pick up truck and think that they are more manly because of this obviously has some insecure issues.

When asked, I answered "A Lexus". "What kind?" he followed. "An IS350" I said. To which he exclaimed, "Dude, that's a girls car!... Give it to your wife." At first, I thought I'd be offended, but it honestly rolled right off my back. "Good to know, I'll make a note... ," I told him.

I've been so happy with my first month of IS350 ownership that not much of anything could get under my skin regarding this car. Has anyone else had their ISx50 referred to as a "chick mobile"? What kind of exchange did it lead to?
IMO I would take the 350 over any Hummer or Porsche any day. I like to think in terms of practicality. I guess if we all had the same tastes in life, the world would be boring. Coming from a gen 1, I am fascinated by the 2gen. I would not like to drive anything other than the IS-f or ISX50.

My salesman said that the women were buying the 250, and the men were buying the 350's. That's the way I see it here in Houston TX.

Very anecdotal, however, of the 10 or so ISX50's I've seen driving about Vegas, only 2 were driven by men.

I just don't care

I love my IS350.

In miami, you see girls driving all the cool/hot looking rides as much as the guys. IS 350 is just a sexy ride, I never thought I'd buy a car again after having 4 SUV's before this (06' rover sport supch'd, 05' LR3, 05 pathfinder, 03' Ford F150 ). Like yall mentioned, anyone that says it's a chick car is not comfortable with themselves and is compensating. I've got some real good friends that are huge as in pumped up or just plain ripped and all of the said the IS 350 was an awesome ride after seeing or driving mine. And most of them have dodge chargers/magnums. They just kept giving me a hard time about going japanese again. IS350 FTW

I think color is the dumbest indicator --unless the IS came in PINK and BLUE only--and you got a pink one...I mean people who say you have a chick car based on color are the retarded ones
Associating women with "lesser" things in life is not only sexist but out of date.

...and last i've seen girls still wear pink so pink is one of the color that you CAN associate with them. I've seen many woman driving porsches so are porsches a female's car?

...and what make u think the 350 is the "male" car? how can you tell which is which if they both travel 60mph on cruise control and side by side? Oh! the one of the right must be for the lads and the one on the left for chicks? SAYS WHO (says the one who thinks male drive on the right hand side LOL? retardness there bro.

Oh god, good thing I found this thread. Yeah, it has a girlish feel to it since most I see on the freeway are women. Coincidence? Maybe or maybe not. Few guys I know have the IS250. Ha, my ex GF's sister has an IS350, lol. But she's always getting the best money can buy.

I don't care. It looks damn good.
