The ISx50 a girls car?

I feel as though Lexus as a brand is what attracts girls. Its a very classy and beautiful label, which has the same effect as brand name hand bags/clothes and what not. I see A LOT of girls driving the is250 and the C300. This is cause when people think of Lexus and Mercedes they think of classy/elegant, just how they want to be portrayed. When people think of BMW they think fast. Most girls dont care about speed so they opt out for the classy/elegant option. Think about a girl rolling up in a Lexus, and then the same girl in a BMW. I personally think they give off different vibes in regards to how the person is like. Regardless of weather its girly or not i am always told that i have a sexy car. Do girls like sexy cars? Yes. Do guys like sexy cars? Yes
I like myself a girl that knows a thing or two about cars and tastes in cars
+1 with everyone else, most MODDED IS I see on the road are driven by males (mostly young) at that. And no, the IS is not a "girly" car.

Beetle, Eos, Jetta, Mini, Smart Car, and c230 are all pretty girly cars. Basically any car can be either sex depending on color and the way it is modded. A mini is the only one that could be made into a guy's car since they can look tight with nice wheels, tint, exhaust, bbk, and slammed (at least the only one in the list that I would ever consider driving).

Most women here drive the new Maximas and Altimas.But I honestly think I'm the only male ISX50 driver in Gadsden,Alabama,others are women.But each to their own,if you like the car,it's all that matters.

This was lingering in my head this past week. I've noticed, at least here in Arizona. Whenever it's a Lexus, I don't care what kind. IS250, IS350, ES350, White, Black, Blue, Gray, Green, or even F-Sport. They're ALL girls. I've even seen 3 IS250C, and they were girls also! But when it's an Infiniti, they're always guys! It annoys the crap out of me. -.-"

I don't know what I said the first time I posted but over time, I have come to notice the over whelming majority of IS drivers are girls. Next would be smaller sized younger guys (not to be negative, I'm just a big guy).
The lack of engine mods in the aftermarket probably keeps a lot of guys from buying an IS. However, the 300hp IS350 is enough for most. Since Lexus doesn't make 400+ hp brutes a lot of guys look to the Germans when they want an entry level luxury car.
Compared with the Benz C, mostly women drive it but I see mostly men in the C-coupe. The C-coupe is 185 inches and has lots of legroom. Even my big butt fits nicely in that car. I'd drive a C63 coupe in a heartbeat. I don't believe I have ever seen a woman drive a C63 sedan nor coupe. Never seen a woman in the ISF either. I guess we guys like power, even if we never use it.
It looks like the next gen IS will attract more men. It seems to be bigger, faster and will have a coupe model. I'm interested.
