Has the RX8 become a chix car?

I would still like an RX8 some day, but a friend of mine made it obvious that the majority of RX8 owners in his Metro are female... I was like no way.... sure enough I've noticed prolly 1/2 to 2/3 of the ones I happen to see are chix.... so are RX8s becoming chic cars or what.... anybody else notice this saddening truth... for me even more of a reason to not buy a used one, enuff rotary ignorant owners out ther as it is.

The majority of them drives AT.
Also, same thing to be said about the Scion tC, Toyota Celica, and the Mazda Miata... they all seem like chick cars to me.

I must agree with the OP though, the RX-8 really seems like a chick car.

This is my lady friend trying to steal my ride:

As you can see, a chick looks alot better in an 8.

lol its not a "chix" car. A Miata can be considered one i guess. But the whole chick car thing came up in the muscle car era didn't it? so if u drove an econo box it was a chick car.... now a days it isnt so cut and dry.

^^^No doubt! i wish more ladies would get they asses in an 8 and partake in the meets.

Where are all these "chick" 8 owners?? I have seen 2 in my lifetime (in person). Other than the few on this site, i just havent witnessed any evidence to support any claim of the 8 being owned by a marginal number of females.

IMO there is 1 reason and 1 reason only why any mention of the 8 as being a chick car and that is because of FF: Tokyo Drift. This movie gave the haters a reason to put that "label" on the car.

No, the RX-8 has become a car for ignorant 17 to 21 year olds who buy it off a used lot because "it looks cool".

It's been a chicks car. Honestly, 3/4 of the RX8s i bump into on the streets are driven by girls/women. Hell, my mom is looking for an AT RX8 right now.
