Males and the Yaris LB?

[Tougarashi]

I have to admit I was quite surprised at how many men own a Yaris LB. I can understand the Sedan...because (to me) it looks like all the other Sedans out there...but the LB?! It's just soooo cute...I absolutely thought it was totally adorable and had to have one...I definitely thought guys would feel too macho to own something soo cute.
So I have to ask, what makes a guy buy something soo cute that he could possibly be ridiculed by stupid macho men?

[brickhardmeat]

Liftbacks/Hatchbacks are for GUYS. If you wanted a GIRLS car that was CUTE you should have gotten a New Beetle. Don't get me wrong there are certain GIRL types who drive GUY cars.

Sedans are for FAMILIES and people with babies/offspring in the back seat.
For me the hatch is a place to put MY stuff.

[hasher22]

whatever tickles your fancy....

in aust i see more men driving the LB/HB then women....so ya

[petesimac]

Sigh, it is cute; I'll be a man and admit it. However, it is mischieveous (sp?) as well! It has an attitude! It's more like the old VW bug than the new VW bug in that it seems to have a personality. Personally, I'm ticked off that old ladies have stolen the new VW bug, what a joke! Or what about all the old folks in the box car, the Scion XD or XB? (whatever it is).

Bottom line:the Yaris is different than anything that came before; that makes it revolutionary; that makes it a cool car to have. I love it!

[HTM Yaris]

To me , Coryn (my yaris) is like my little truck . It carries all my guitars and amps . All my guns .I know for a fact that the LB will carry a 205 lb deer. All my camping gear . All my tires and tools for track day . And @ night I got room for 4 cuties

Besides it takes a real man to utilize something feminine . You know kinda like when your man wears your panties around the house . :thumbup: Yeah , like I'm the only one :biggrin:

[blacksan]

I personally have no need to compensate by driving a typical "macho car" even though I could. For me the Yaris LB is just fun and that is why I sport one.

[eTiMaGo]

Sure, the Yaris is a "cute" car... But it also has, like petesimac said, this mischievous, playful, insolent look to it, kind of like the car is saying "think what you want of me, I don't care", and I guess this attracts drivers with the same mentality :biggrin:

[blacksan]

The Yaris is saying "think what you want of me, I don't care", because it could make John Holmes run in shame:biggrin:

:thumbsup: :laughabove:

[churp]

Efficient/agile/practical/economical/purty = Yaris
Large/cumbersum/expensive/bulky = SUV

I like to think it's IQ not Gender, but then I do see lots of ladies driving SUV's:biggrin:

[eTiMaGo]

:thumbsup: :laughabove:

took me a bit of research to figure out what you were talking about.. :biggrin:

[brickhardmeat]

I douse mine down with English Leather Musk to give it an extra manly quality.

[blacksan]

but then I do see lots of ladies drivingSUV's:biggrin:

Yah, whats up with that? Ladies, can you enlighten this dum ass man?

Wusss, I rube mine down with lighter fluid before watching NASCAR and drinking motor oil (20W-50).

Could stand some enlightenment....little overweight! :biggrin:

[OtownYaris]

I'm a mid-20's male who thought the car was cute. At 35MPG everyone can laugh at me and tell me I have a girlie car, I don't mind. I have a Chevy Astro van for anytime I need to haul stuff. But for going to and from work and hitting a maximum speed of 55mph, the Yaris makes way more sense.

[blacksan]

Could stand some enlightenment....little overweight! :biggrin:

No, thank dog! I am still holding 175 after all these years, but my little brain could use all the help I can get.:frown: :biggrin:

[drifto]

my girl says its cute too, but at the same time so could a civic or a miata or any other subcompact car. its what you like that counts. its a sad day when somone buys something (esp. a car) because it will make them look more tough. to me it dont mean shit what you drive, its how you drive. ill respect any car if the driver has a real purpose for it. but the little man with the excursion who cant see over the dash and cuts everyone off on purpose... that guy i just laugh at. :rolleyes:

a car that serves its purpose... whoda thunk it.

All good to me, nothing wrong with having a car the ladies love too :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[gabagooo]

I was torn between the XA and Yaris. I went for the Yaris LB BECAUSE it was cute. Fresh, if you will. The car gets a lot of looks, that's for sure. But with gas so expensive let them look. As for being macho - why should I give a shit about what other think about what car I drive.

[spkrman]

You know kinda like when your WOman wears HER panties around the house .

fixed it for you :cool:

[leowhy]

its love at 1st sight... no other logical reason...

[stuffy]

yeah, i'm not too concerned what people think of me and my car either.

it gets me around town, it isn't a part of my personality.

come on now, you wouldn't have joined a forum if you didn't care to somewhat about what you drove, you are into it:tongue:

now it may not be a part of your person or personality so much but in some whay like all material things people appreciate, it is an extension of what you want to project:biggrin:

at least that is what I think, I'm not trying to call you out or start a debate but I think we choose all things for reasons other than simply to get around, or, cover our bodies, or, to keep us out of the rain and give us shelter ,or, whatever:w00t:

we choose are homes, cars, pets, spouses, lawnmowers and friends based on much more than just basic purposes

[The Stig]

only insecure males need that macho thing. :wink:

Most of the ones I see around here are being driven by women, but when I do see a guy in one I think "there goes a smart hip man...who is laughing all the way to bank!"
I loved the Yaris from the first time I saw it! Everytime I see it from my office it makes me smile, and no other car has ever done that for me.:smile:

don't get me wrong, i love the yaris, it's a great economical car that is still fun to drive and i think it looks great,
but i dont' view it as an extension of myself and i'm not trying to project any kind of image to the world at large by driving it.

I hear 'ya

I guess what I mean by projection is. You would rather project yourself as an individual that drives an economical somewhat sporty car with clean lines. Rather than someone that drives a Hummer for example and has huge Chrome rims and a BMW motorcycle on the roof rack.

true, your choises are an extension of your personality and desires. but its those choises that define us. i just cant respect the guy who buys a car to be mr. tommy tuff nutz... mostly b/c in the end they drive like a deek. :thumbdown:
anyways, i guess none of us should give a rats ass what people say about our car. there will always be those that hate, and those that respect. i just try to show respect untill that person loses my respect, whether they drive a cobra mustang or a beetle.

agreed for the most part

I want to like the new beetle but the image has been destroyed from seeing to many middle aged chubby women cruising next to me with a plastic daisy sticking up out of that dashboard vase.

I am still a fan of the classic beetle. Always will be. Nothing wrong with a mustang. I know a really cool dyke that drives one.:laugh:

my car is not an extension of my penis, it is simply what I prefer to drive, at times it has been what I have to drive like when I drove an '89 Toyota Longbed

geez, even the yaris would be a pretty big penis extension.

Is that a Yaris in your pants or are you just happy to see me? :biggrin:

Miata is pretty girlie:wub:I didn't think that my Miata was girly. 200WHP Mazdaspeed FTW!

My girlfriend calls my LB a bunny car. So we named it Rini, which is a Japanese girl's name meaning "Little Bunny" :redface:

[grampi]

I could see where some might say the LB is "cute," however the reason I'm attracted to it is 1) it's inexpensive 2) it's reliable 3) it's good on gas and 4) it's so unique it's somewhat of a niche car, kind of like a Mini Cooper or a Miata.

:bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll: So True!:bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

I was walking out to my Yaris this morning and I just got a good feeling about knowing I was about to start it and drive it. Weird but true... I think it was love at first sight, and after driving one, I placed my order a few days later. I just love it! I also laugh everytime I fill up and see an SUV pumping the gas in knowing they are about to pay $75 to my $30 and will burn it at twice the rate. I know some insecure people who just can't own a minivan, they gotta drive an SUV to project the macho thing. Dumbasses.

How about the assholes with these things?

I agree with most of the members here, but living in LA and having been Yaris owner for 6 months now I only saw 2 or 3 guys driving LB.

[kurokoma-kun]

I didn't think that my Miata was girly. 200WHP Mazdaspeed FTW!

Gaah, drool! :drool: My 94 is great but, dayam, how I want one of these. As a girl, of course, it is strictly b/c my hair would look great blowin around in the breeze while I leave the "hot" pickup truck dudes behind!

It's funny you say that, because when my wife and I went car shopping, we each got a Yaris S-Type sedan (see sig). I didn't care for the LB, but my wife HATED it. She thought the LB was hideous and felt the sedan was "much cuter". I guess everyone has their own personal views and tastes...:iono:

LMAO. That's the only word I get that describes our car. We just hear "cute" everywhere we go. I don't believe it has ever been called otherwise. I don't mind driving a "cute" car, it's better than driving an ugly car.

[falkor_99]

I got one because they are totally freakin' awesome.......totally:thumbup:

my wife and I both liked the LB I liked it because I saw the tuning potental and thought it would look hard dropped on some wheels, and my wife just thought it looked different and that is why she wanted it

[Mrs.Yaris]

I must admit, I really didn't like the LB (no offense to anyone that does). I really like the S Sedans we got. I think they are so cute! They look like baby Camrys! Sorry to ruin the girls think the LBs are cute rumor! Personally, I think my '98 Trans Am is sex on 4 wheels, so I wasn't as concerned about the looks of my daily driver. But, I really like the S Sedan...

[Yaris Revenge]

I'll be the 1st to admit (okay, maybe not THE 1st) that I like the sedan front end WAY better than the LB front. The sedan looks all sleek and business-like, which I AM fond of. However, hatch backs are crazy functional... I daresay once you go hatch, you never go back. :laugh: I'm in a Vibe right now, and I can't imagine having to deal with a sedan.

Not to mention, the LB is smaller, and IMHO, small = sporty (even if it had under 100hp). So, yeah, the LB needs that big dumb-ass grin wiped off its face, but I have every intention of doing that once I buy one toward the end of the year. That's what body kits are for! :biggrin:

[BailOut]

What does wit have to do with cargo? I can understand how you came across some wit with a bad experience, though.

I'm confused with gfs. At first I thought it was the sound Mr. Snuffle-something from Sesame Street makes, but that's kind of out of context. At least I think it's out of context, but I'm not sure because it's hard to tell where the sentences stop and start as nothing is capitalized so the whole flow is off.

Maybe it's the sound Hummer owners make when they fill up their gas tanks, or maybe it's the name of some kid in Africa that will be the first African Astronaut.

I'm not sure how ivy came up as the Yaris doesn't even come in that color.

I also don't understand why you wanted to talk about your pimples. Folks on the Internet can't see your pimples anyway. Or were you speaking of Papal stuff? I don't think the Pope cares about our Yarii. Or were you trying to say papaya? I like pie.

Oh, well, I give up. I'm still not sure what you said, but if you wanted everyone to understand you and hear what you have to say then you'd have damn well spelled things out properly and used some sentence structure to begin with, wouldn't you?

[Pars]

The Yaris liftback happens to fit both group, it can haul cargo and looks cute doing it. Men do seem to get more excited by the cargo hauling capability of the car while the women are more concerned by the aesthetics and if they got a man to handle the massively heavy stuff, then the hatch is a bonus.

In Canada, the 5door liftback with power-package is well priced and around here, that takes priority for the economy shoppers.

[TrancosRt]

I've said many times - almost a year of ownership and I still love to drive the car.
It has great looks, it is excellently priced, versatile, and to get me everywhere (I'm usually the only passenger in the car) it is perfect.

I don't see why I wouldn't drive it!

My Yaris got a long, head turning, lingering stare from a nice lookng girl on my way to work today. That is reason enough to own this little jewel!
