The ISx50 a girls car?

A so called 'chick car' comes down to look and style of a car versus what's under the hood.
Is the '06 Audi TT 3.2 250 HP less of a chick car than the 1.8 180 HP?
The thing is when the IS 250 or 350 is seen,the only real difference to 99.9% of the public is the 3 instead of the 2 on the lower right trunk lid.
Now if that 99.9% drove the 350....

I think you are right but "pretty high" would still be in the 75% range, I would suspect. I know a couple of guys who sold their wives on the bump up to the IS350 for the power as a "safety feature" and I kid you not. And some women just flat out like power too.

I've been sick for a few days, so I'm blaming that if this actually exists, but what's a 300/350c?

You guys shouldn't worry so much about what other guys say...who cares. I see a lot of girls driving the IS but who cares, I sure don't. I enjoy the car very much and don't give a crap if a girl is driving it also.

I get **** for it too, out of my good friends two have BMW 3 series, one has an STI, one has an EVO, and one has an M3. They always give me crap for my car saying it's a slow car, a POS, a women's car, an old lady's car, etc, you just gotta suck it up. It'd be ridiculous to argue since they're not going to change their mind, and I know my friends are pulling my leg; but if somebody was bragging about their H2 and their Porsche I would just laugh. Since most people who buy H2s have some sort of masculinity problem or are making up for something, and along with having a Porsche with that... you know that guys got some issues with himself.

The nomenclature was a bit lacking, he should of said C300/C350 and I think the meaning would have been clearer.

Ok, that was my first thought, but I didn't realize they were making C350s these days.

The IS is like Oakley sunglasses, they are unisex. When I test drove the car I loved it. It hauled *** and stopped fast too. (I think it rivaled the 2005 Boxster S that we recently traded for the GS.)
But in the end of the day, you are still driving an awesome car that women think is cute. How can that be a bad thing?

Whenever I see a chick driving an 2IS, it's always IS250 AWD probably once or twice it was a 350.
Chicks digs for the looks of the car so they wouldn't need to purchase a 350 for its power.
Next time someone tells you your IS350 is a chick car, ask that person to ride with you or even better, race against you and see who's wrong and right.

Unfortunately, that what a freakin' insanely hot girl said to me the other day, "is that your Lexus?"...Uh huh....."it's cute".
Now I wouldn't have minded that so much if it was the bread and butter IS you see here in town by the hundreds, but mine is black, black windows, lowered, GFX and pretty damn angry looking, so in my mind I was like WTF?
Oh well, guess what you really need is the new International MTX to be a real man.
