Thanks. I am proud to be an American. You're an American bashing Brit who took a lame cheap shot without basis. What I said before was sarcasm. You are the one who made yourself look stupid.

Ayepecks Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Wow... some of the stupidity here amazes me. A "girl car" or "college kid car" or "man car" is all in the eye of the beholder. If you want to think that, go for it. But people go for what they like, what they can afford, etc. Who cares if you know girls who drive it? If you're ignorant enough to dislike a car simply based on the fact that girls drive it (because, you know, they only have 1/8th the brain size of us men, right? :rolleyes: ), then go for it. Sometimes I have to wonder if stupidity really is contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how cars get given there spot. When have you ever heared a guy say "thats a MANS mini-van!" ? but yet i know guys that drive Zx2's and girls that drive cobras. That doesnt change what the car is known as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh give me a break. :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumTrickery Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Of course if it were marketed towards women, it'd be a woman's car, as that was the intention of the company. Its a well known fact car makers design certain cars/vans/etc towards a specific gender or age group. I can think of a number of vehicles that would fit that bill. That being said, the new Mustang is a trashy shell of its former self, and i'd be embarassed to be seen behind the wheel of such a pile of garbage.

Man, some of you people are really insecure. That's your opinion... but some of us don't have enormous budgets when picking cars, and there are some affordable options for the latest Mustangs. I think they look fine, personally. Maybe they're not up to the retro Mustang standards, but I find that they're an improvment over the 90's Mustangs.

Whidbey05 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Their not so what's your point. :sleep: 585662843[/snapback] VW used to be a girls/gay couples car. was it ment to be? no but thats what its old rep was. Civics are kown for great gas milage, but my 2000 2.0 escort makes more power and gets better milage then my moms 03 1.7l Civic, and it cost less. and in 5yrs it has not had a problem, my moms civic has been in twice. Benz is known as a high quality car, ever drive a C230 Kompressor? its a slow, poor handeling, cheap feeling POS with Chrysler parts. My point is that wether or not a car has a rep it doesnt make it true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive a Cadillac and i'm 24. Cadillac is usually labeled as an old person's car, guess why. Yup old people usually drive it, genious I know. Examples don't always hold true, just cause you gave a few. Civic's do get good gas mileage, and Benz's are usually high quality, ever seen a S500.

Love_Hate Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 250hp :sleep: Thats pretty pathetic for a muscle car... here in Australia the basic Ford family car (Falcon) has 236hp and 380Nm torque, from a 4.0L in-line six. Fords top of the range 4.0L (turbo) in-line six here at the moment is the Typhoon, which produces 350hp and 550Nm torque. The GT 5.4L V8 has 380hp and 520Nm torque (note the Typhoon has more torque than the GT :yes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
