eh, yes, a lot better than my 2000 Civic :-) I like it better than the BMW 3-series doors too -- you have to slam those and doesn't sound as nice.
We man like to conquer and destroy like the good old days where we sail on ships, ride horses and wear funny hats ... you can't do that in a cute car.

But you can still be a demon behind the wheel of one of these cars especially if it's a 350. Plenty of horse power got those who feel the need to strike their male ego.

Got another good one from a guy who pumped my gas (in Oregon we don't pump our own).
"It's really nice of you to fill up your Dad's car for letting you drive it!"
... I'm 27. Bash on me I guess for looking young. This was on a date with a girl too haha.

Well,
I am German. My german friends look weird at me when I tell them I drive a Lexus. Like I am some sort of alien. Lexus has no brand image in Germany (in the new car charts by car model ranges they are not in the top30) and hence no re-sale value. Once they visit me in Dubai and I take them around in the Lexus (all options, except sunroof and navi), they are very very impressed. "That's actually a very nice car and so luxurious...and refined" is the most often heard comment.
In the UAE Lexus has a very high brand image and a fabulous re-sale value btw.

Lexus IS = Cute
Dodge Charger = Masculine
i think color also has a lot to do with it. A black IS is less likely to be called cute than a red or starfire pearl. Even the bright blue can be called cute.
