Re: its official the 9-2x is a chick car

Well then that must account for just about every 9-2x owner who hasn't made it to the forum yet.

"By percentage" must mean that the percentage of 9-2x's that go to women is high, not that a large percentage of women own 9-2x's, right?

Re: its official the 9-2x is a chick car

I didnt buy the car because it was a "man's car" or it was a "woman's car" I bought because of what it was.  If it is a "woman's car" that is great for me because the insurance for it should be lower....

My buddy's fiance wants my car soooo bad. . . he keeps trying to get her to get rid of her A4 for a WRX and she keeps telling him she wants a saabaru. I offer to drive whenever we go somewhere just to irk him. She doesn't shut up about how "nice" the car is, and since it's a subaru under there, why doesn't she just get one of these. . .  wink

I was reading the quote from autoweek aloud to my wife last night and she asked the same question.  I'm guessing they looked at the total number of 9-2X owners and found that the majority were women.  I seriously doubt they sold enough of them to actually come out as one of the most popular cars among women.

The Scion tC and Mazda 3 were the other 2 in the article by the way.  I guess women have good taste, those are both very good cars.
