I was on another forum discussing about 3g eclipse. All i got was feedback about how girly they are. Why is that?

Hell, why not. :lol: Club3G has been around for nine years now, the car has been for sale since 1999, making it 10 years old to the mathematically challenged; to think this hasn't been asked during that time is rather humorous. Oh well, I will let this one run for a while.

Who cares if the 3g is a girl's car or not? Drive what you like and don't worry about what other people think. I see more girl's driving 2g's around here than guys and a lot of the 3g's running around here are driven by guys. If people have to talk crap about your car then they're most likely jealous.

haha, stupid thread...

if it was a girl's car, they would issue it in pink, or some other girl-orientated color.

BTW NOGAF my car get's LOADS of compliments from females...:D so im happy with it!!

At work today we had this discussion. A couple of my co-workers where calling my 3g a chick car. Yet one of em drives a Scion XB and he's thirty, so I called him out on that "your thirty three and you drive a teeny bopper top 10 spike tv douche bag car" So i really want to know what defines a chick car? A car driven mostly by females or does a car have to be small and compact to be a "chick" car?

It's subjective, I guess. In my opinion, a 'chick' car is something that is dominantly owned/driven by women or a car that has features/accessories that is targeted to appeal to that gender. A good example would be the new Beetles; I don't see many guys getting one with the optional faux flower and vase kit near the instrument gauges.

I would say that any car that's reasonably economical and good looking is probably a chick car because that's generally what attracts women to cars (i have to help my mom when she car shops because i'm the car guy in my family).

This is not a slam on the 3g in anyway just my point of view.

(btw all three of my cars could've been considered chick cars so obviously i don't care. The car i'm buying once i get out of college is definately a chick car, Honda Fit, until you stuff a k20 in it!)

It was because of the marketing. The main demographic they targeted was women, so now we have to suffer, but hey, I have onky had mine a week and i can tell you I like the attention girls give it.

It was freshly de badged and waxed today, driving on 95 3 riced out but highly modified turbo'd hondas driven by spansih street racers (Philly pepboys race on youtube) were in formation, I zoomed past them and we all took the same exit, after smoking me on leghi avenue, they waved me into the checkers and invited me to the race spot!!! It was cool as hell, and even my super slow (I did beat a honda dx!!! whoo whoo!) clipse definitely got respect in that croud. They all thought it was faste than it is, I can not wait to get it turbo's up, I almost got ripped off with craigslist "Bilstien suspention" but I ordered tien springs from amazon, f the ******** that say girl car, they are just jealous,
:facepalm:
