I disagree. A car can't be considered a chick car just because there's a higher powered version of it. The base model Mustang is a (relatively) cheap rear-wheel drive coupe -- something 90% of the people on this forum clamor for constantly. Just because someone doesn't want to drop the coin for a GT doesn't prove anything. Maybe they wanted a 15.3 sec 1/4 mile car for $20k -- nothing wrong with that. By your logic a Porsche 911 is a chick car because there's a 911 Turbo. If anything, the word you're describing is poseur car -- not chick car.
The only possible definition has to be a car that is owned primarily by females. People who try to use the term to designate cars that are more about style than performance are incredibly narrow-minded and hypocritical. Every single person on here talks about how ugly the Evo is compared to the 8 because that's the ONLY thing the 8 does better than the Evo. Yet, somehow because the 8 meets the "minimum" requirements for performance in your eyes it's not considered a chick car.
Whether it's style, handling, straight line speed, amenities, etc they all cost money. Some people value certain categories more than others. Anyone with an RX-8 who sits in judgment of someone else buying a car that's heavy on the looks and light on the performance is just as moronic as the 350Z owner who looks down on the RX-8 owner because of the lack of torque and woeful mileage. Everyone needs to grow up and have fun driving their car rather than worrying about emasculating a person for making a choice about a freakin car.

yikes ... must be a touchy subject for you huh.
i don't care if a chick car is really a chick car or not, but it's fun to just talk to people about it. maybe you should chill out, or not read this post.........

You might as well add the Corvette to the list. Plenty of chicks and hot chicks drive that car. Also the SLK should be added to that list, see plenty of snobby older women driving that car like its going out of style down here in FL.

I don't need to chill out. If people are being stupid morons I'm going to tell them that. I don't think "it's fun to just talk to people about it." I'm not going to get into it again. I think the people with reasonable intelligence understand my points, whether they agree with them or not.
I win.

i agree on what was said about the posers with H3s and other cars like that. I love the H1 of course because thats military hardware, the H2 is pretty sweet and I wouldnt mind having one (if someone just GAVE Me one) and I was rich for the gas.
The H3 to me is a joke - not only do I see women driving it all the time, is the fact that they drive a big huge car to do what? pick up little suzie from soccer practice?
The only thing that is worse then all the chick cars are the people with too much money and not enough brains that go out and drop a wad of cash on a badass Range Rover or something and then never use it to go off roading.
A few weeks ago there was a bunch of construction in my area and this lady in a range rover actually stopped in traffic because she refused to take her nice off road SUV down a 6" dropoff in the pavement to get to a sonic restaurant. I hate people that buy something awesome and either dont know how to use it to its potential or just waste it because they dont know any better.

not to beat a dead horse, but i'm with hough2696. please allow us "stupid" people with an MORE THAN SATISFACTORY sense of humor to enjoy ourselves. you're like those idiots that whine about how much you hate a particular radio station or dj and call in to get them fired. JUST TURN THE DIAL!! or in this case, stop clicking on this d@mn post and reading what we stupid people are writing, DUH! geez, just because you're too smart doesn't mean you have to ruin the fun for us "retarded" people.
It's not in good fun to be a misogynistic toolbag. I'm not going to sit around and let people insult others for the kind of car they get without saying anything any more than I'd stay quiet if some immature 350Z owner (for example) came in here blanketly insulting 8 owners. Everyone would be up in arms if the latter were to happen, yet you have no problem insulting every other car owner under the sun.

Ok, then by that same logic, you can go into your forum settings and ignore my posts. Then I'll never be able to ruin your fun again!

you're z analogy was pretty far off base too because there's nothing insulting about this ... wait ... YOU own a chick car don't you?! is the auto rx8 your weekend car and you have a vw bug with the flower vase still intact and the daisy rims? haha, look at me, detective in the making, even with my stupid sense of humor.
i mean seriously, what about saying that i see a lot of girls driving a benz is insulting or misogynistic in anyway??!!!!! wake up man, besides, the word you're looking for, if anything, is STEREOTYPE. oh, sorry, that's pronounced "stair--ee--o--tipe." we're talking about stereotypes, generalizations, not insults. and again, if this thread is so upsetting, DON'T CLICK ON IT!!!
toolbag - that's a good one - god, i thought i had graduated from highschool a while ago when cutdowns like that were cool.
lastly, i didn't say to ignore MY posts (what happened to your superior intelligence huh?) - i said ignore THIS post - as in don't click on the "So what elements in a car constitute it to become a chick car" thread anymore. hopefully you won't even read this because you won't have clicked on the link and we funny people can move on.
back to the point ... well, i'm at a loss of more cars right now so i'll get back to this later...
