Default Is the IS250 AT a "GIRLS" car?

Since I think the majority on these automotive forums are male, I have to assume most owners here, including myself are male as well. < FLAME SUIT ON>. I have no doubts that the IS350 and IS-F are masculine cars. But the IS250, especially with AT, seems to be aimed at women more than men. MT models would be a different story. I have an 07 and 08 IS250 AWD in the family. My daughter drives the one and my wife drives the other. Don't get me wrong. I also drive the car from time to time, and its a nice cruiser, IMHO, FOR ME, I would become bored with it in a short period of time. Just not enough horsepower and torque. Handling is just so so. BTW, I'm 58 yrs young. PLEASE! No insult or offense is intended.

This idea has been discussed in great depth and breath in the past.

Simply put, only insecure people (owners or haters or otherwise) will ever consider cars to be feminine or masculine.

Drive the car that you love. Drive the car you find most functional.
