So, I'm trying convince my wife that we could totally get away with a two door car and a toddler. And out of the sky blue, she says "Oh ... that's a chick car. Why do you alway pick chick cars??"

What?!?

Do you all think this looks like a chick car? I mean it's not a New Beetle convertible. Thoughts ...

Definitely a chick car!

 

[dct82me]

Definitely a chick car!

I absolutely agree!

 

[Davey_g]

i think its definatly UNISEX! lol...not as girly as a ford street KA or like you mention a bettle....BUT i have had some abuse of a lot of people...a few as im driving by!...but at least with this convertible if you think your in a area of "abuse" you can crack the roof back up and nobody would know unlike a soft top......

I think it is unisex, but can be preferentially gendered based on color perhaps. Any guy that doesn't get a kick out of the transformer-like nature of the top going up or down doesn't have enough testosterone in him anyway. Seems like this board is made up of an equal number of male and female owners.

A Beetle Cabriolet is a chick's car, as is a Nissan Micra CC (especially in pink!) but I don't see an Eos as one (perhaps because I'm a bloke and I drive one!)

 

[Scooby Doo]

My hubby loves driving my Eos... so I'd have to disagree with the 'chick's car'

 

[Lucari]

The Eos was voted 'Womens car of the year' by evecar.com. I got a lot of stick from collegues at work saying I was getting a girly car.

I can't see it myself. I reckon a Black Eos with the roof down is as manly as it gets. Especially with my Abba CD blasting out !!!

I dont see mine as a chick car especially as I have the black body work with red interior however some colours in the range I could see our colour stylists at work calling 'feminine'.

Not as girly as a beetle cabrio though... borrowed one as a loan car and really liked the happy feeling when driving it however could not own one.

 

[nail-z-gull]

All cabrios' seem to get labelled as "chick cars". Of the mainstrain models, I think the EOS, and the Volvo are the 2 least feminine, not that a "chick" would look out of place in either.

A bloke would certainly look out of place in a Micra, or Tigra though, IMO.

ABBA with the Dynaudio................nice!

 

[silvershadow]

What could be more "blokey" [Oz slang for macho masculinity] than driving an Eos with the top down with Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" cranked up?

My personal preference though is doing this with classic surf music from the 1960's at full volume - some samples of Australian classic surf music are below:

The Altlantics - Bombora

The Atlantics - The Crusher

The Delltones - Hangin' Five

Oldies but Goodies!

Hi

Well let me say that if one is so petty as to discuss the gender of a car then their open - minded proclamation is inept. Love the EOS whether male or female. My ice blue beauty is stunning and needs to be treated with dignity and care. Cheers from Vancouver, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

It was also voted Gay Guys' Car of the Year a couple of years ago and I'm not one of those either!

 

[NinjaDonkey]

Definitely unisex....!

I've never thought my car to be a chicks car. The main reason I bought it is because it was the most masculine of all the convertables.

That's my 2 pennies worth!

 

[r.gbrown]

Def not a chicks car

Who cares what people think, I love my Eos and last time I checked I was definatley a bloke...........

 

[Kuz_Starr]

This is a classic thread

I laughed when I read the title of this thread.

Lets be honest, the EOS is a definitely a classic. Its in the list of cars which are top of their class - that clearly says its not a chicks car.

Chicks, if you want to lay claim to the Eos, take the smaller engine ones (no offence to guys with 1.4's etc) - but the 2.0's & the 3.2 V6's, leave them to us guys.

With a thread like this, its all about a little contraversy

 

[cb391]

Just about every time someone has pulled along side and complimented our Eos, it was a guy. One guy was driving a truck at the time.

Abba???????? Gotta be Boston, Led Zepplin or something similar.

 

[my echo]

It was also quoted Gay Guys' Car of the Year a couple of years ago and I'm not one of those either!

A work mate said to me after he saw me with driving with the top down wearing a pastel colored shirt." you look like a POOF (aussie for Gay Guy)". A few days later I had occasion to visit his home, I made it a point to have the top up and sun roof open and black
T-shirt. now thats a macho car.
My wife says it's her car (Girly), I say it's mine (Macho).
The Kids dont care! They just want to Drive it.
I suppose it's how you and your car are dressed.
I don't have any ABBA, but Jeff's WOTW and some FLOYD are stacked up under the dash.

Sure why not

Chick car, Dude car, whatever car... who cares. Fact of the matter is ... I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body and enjoy my EOS. What's not to li.. li.. like. Sorry bout that
