I agree with RC the Cayman is to aggresive to be labeled a females car. That being said, does it really matter what gender drives any car? My wife love the P car, not as much as myself but enough for me to consider her now more of an affecionado, enthusiast if you will. It is ironic when I see gals riding in raised 4 x 4 trucks. My first thought is, oh that must be their mans truck. Im labeling, and judging prematurely. But I can see how certain cars fit the bill, ie: Honda Civics, Celicas, and 3 series convertibles, or for that manner almost any 3 with the exception of the M.

I suppose M is for "man."
I think we'd be surprised at how important these things are to marketing people, and for good reason if one wants to sell cars. Same folks who influence making the wheels bigger and code brake caliper colors by how much you spent on your brakes. On some level a car is just a car, but let's be real, no one here thinks that way. Our car is chosen in part based on the impression we convey to other drivers. My car is used only for twisty-road commuting as my wife doesn't like the image of an expensive gas guzzler, so won't ride in it. If it were practical for family needs she'd be in a hybrid. We had a white WV cabriolet for a while, "the muffin car," that I was embarrassed to ride in.

I don't know, I can't see myself in a Boxster as my "main" car because I think it "fits" my wife better (speaking from a design point of view, not about performance) but I think that the Cayman isn't a woman's car (again speaking from a design point of view), it is too much of a combo of sportiness/ugliness and an aggressive head turner (as weird as this might sound to you guys).
The new Boxster (987) is perfect regarding it's design, the line flow, everything is very fluent and right on the spot. The 911 is too masculine from behind and too aggressive viewed from a frontal side view, not a real woman's car.
Finally, it doesn't matter if the driver is a woman or a man...as long as they can actually DRIVE and CONTROL their car.

Please tell me I didn't read this correctly. I happen to be a woman and I happen to have and drive a 9114S. I bought my 911 because I happen to love them, have always wanted one, and I enjoy driving one. It is not my "man's" car and I certainly didn't buy it to impress anyone. That car is way too expensive in order to use as an attention getter. I have much better ways to impress people if that were my intention.
This idea that certain cars are gender specific vehicles belongs back in the dark ages boys. And tell me something? If cars were gender specific can you tell me what is wrong with driving a "chick" car? What is so embarrassing about this? This seems to indicate to me that some may be insecure about their masculinity, mmmm?
Sorry to come down hard on you guys, but it pains me to see other porsche owners/drivers to have such sexist views. I would think that most who drive these mean machines have enough intelligence to understand that women can drive anything you "men" can drive and handle them just as well or better
And guess what? I am a real woman

As a matter of fact I have, and you should know better than most Alan, seeing how you are from my home state and live in Newport Beach, that it is quite a popular vehicle with the surfers who carry their board vertically up from their back seats of a Volkswagon Cabriolet.
