gm overall. It's all the same to me. Way too much badge engineering going on at that company.

I haven't had not one girl show any interest in me because I drive a Yaris in the 2 1/2 years I've owned mine. What are you guys doing that I'm not? To be honest, I wouldn't have anything to do with a girl that showed interest just because I drive a Yaris. I wouldn't trust a woman who fancies a guy because of the car he drives. A woman as such is not to be trusted. Am I right? You know I am....

A truck guy once said to me "Your car is meant for girls, not even gay guys but actual girls". I respond with "Well then why aren't you driving one?". Enter the crickets...

The only GM car I can think of that's genuinely a girls car is that new Chevy Spark - ultra-girly car, especially when painted pink.

I think you just don't know what you are talking about.

The two things you mentioned are completely different. Having a girl give you a chance because she likes your car is not having a girl date a guy only because of the car.

A car girls like is a great opening statement. Especially when it gets the girl to speak first.

I've had women of all ages say they like the styling of the Yaris.

I didn't mean my post to be THAT serious. I typed it half jokingly, which I hoped would come through via my tone. Guess not.
In all the cars I've ever owned (which amount to 4), I have never had one, not one, girl come up to me and start a conversation based on her impressions of my car or even say they like my car. That said, when I owned my first car, which was a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix, 180,000, huge rust bucket, I did get comments from black guys who seemed to love that car.

No, none of my friends make fun of me

However, I cannot get my DBF to drive it, because he said it's a girl's car!

This topic is resurrected every 6 months or so it seems. As a point I have had no one give me anything, but props on mine. Of course that helps when it not only looks fast, but is for a lot of folks. I could care less what others think. You make a choice, you live with it, no one else does in this case.
