Males and the Yaris LB? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tougarashi · 05-29-2007, 07:28 PM

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?

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.

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!

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 .

Yeah , like I'm the only one

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.

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

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

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

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.
