LOL! Maybe I should change my screen name. I've also been asked if it stood for d*ck envy.... I would never have thought of that myself (I have a clean mind, you see....).

Yeah, it's a "chick" car... every chick I know (and old hens for that matter) wants to trade me their POS (jk, well... not really) for this technical marvel, but only cause they think it's "cute"... LMAO!

 

Possibly, I just got one and looooove it

 

Jet aircraft are gender neutral, so I don't think it's an issue.

 

Happened to me again yesterday. One my girlfriends say that so-and-so thinks it's a girl's car. But I look at it like this:

To catch mouse, use cheese. To catch a fish, use bait. You get the idea. I don't think chicks are running up to a 300C saying "WOW, is that a HEMI?"

 

I've counted no less than 7 lady posters in this thread.
This is definitely a chick thread.

Ladies, how yooou doin'?
Don't forget this thread.

I'm a female, too, but I don't really consider it a chick car. I get as many compliments about the car from guys as I do from girls. The women do tend to call it "cute" and the guys "nice" or "hot."

I had that other "chick car" (the Miata), too. Ha.

 

I got my '8 back in October, and every engineer I work with (95% male) absolutely loves the car. Many of them are considering purchasing one now. I had never heard anyone call this a "chick car" until seeing this thread. Plus, anywhere I drive, I get stares from everyone--male or female.

 

I don't think RX8 is a Chick car.

But adding an Eyelid will definitely Delete the word of Chick from their mouth

Anyway both RX8 and 350Z is driven by a Celebrities :D

RX8 = Britney Spiers
350Z = Paris Hilton

 

Well, maybe I can offer a little different perspective for you. As a reformed chick-car owner (BMW Z3) who was also in denial about having a chick car, I can tell you that the RX-8 is certainly viewed as a chick car.

For guys, it's all about the power; for the ladies, it's all about the looks. And as all of your posts in this thread are so much more concerned with looks than performance, your own words say that it is a chick car (BTW, my definition of a chick car: a chick car is just like a chick, looks good and has no ***** )

As for your list, I find it interesing that you include the S2000, the Elise, and the Boxster (S), since all 3 of these kill the RX-8 in performance. I also don't agree that all convertibles are chick cars. Certainly the Miata, MR2, Sebring, and Eclipse spyder are (again, look good but have no *****), but the S2000, Boxster S, Elise, Corvette, Mustang Cobra, 350Z are certainly not chick cars.

Is the RX-8 a fun car to drive? Certainly! Is it also a chick car? Certainly!

 

What a crock! Do a little research and you'll find that about 86% of RX-8 buyers are male. And don't even try to tell me that we still live in an age where the man buys the car and the woman drives it... that might apply in some cases, but I guarantee it doesn't bring that percentage down too far.

And as far as having no *****, I'm perfectly happy with a sub-6 second 0-60 time. It'll smoke most cars on the road and look a hell of a lot better doing it than your STI.

 

its small and round so i can see where it can be considered a chick car....other than that...the engine,interior,everything else is all masculane!

 

So back to the original thought on this....

Do chicks stop and stare... hell ya.

But if you really want to know what a chick car looks like.... think Celica or Eclipse:D :D :D

 

My car is not cute, and it's not slow... Have your friends meet me at the track...

 

well Im a chick and it is my car does that make mine a chick car? Though I do get a lot of guys looking at it and asking me all kinds of questions about it. It is a great way to meet people! but I think it is a guy car. until they make a convertable mode...than that would be a chick car diffenately!

 

Chick car = no
Chick magnet car = yes

 

ugh now you've ruined my evening.

 

I dont see this car as a chicks car. Even tho Chicks love flashy cars that are fast. Such as this car.

 

i dont think its a girl car either.
even though theres a lot of girls on this forum :p

 

Would you consider the Chryler Crossfire a "chicK" car?

 

i don't think i would, IMO, since i haven't seen a female driving one yet.

but i must say it's a pretty looking car, from certain angles that is :D
