any VW Beetle 98 and up.

all of those big crossover SUV's are targeted at women, and it works because men know they're fucking stupid.

Not the year you're looking for and I can't find the video or remember the company, it was american, they had some chauvinistic kind of commercial on a "car for her" but it was essentially just one of their models with a few changes. Not built from scratch. let me go find it.

>>15822961
Muscle cars and sports cars are a tiny slice of the car market. Even trucks are a small chunk when it comes to consumer vehicles.

Women hold most of the purchasing power in the US, and automakers have responded accordingly. Furthermore, women are more likely to opt for new cars than men are.

Most new cars are marketed to women now. Look at the advertising- focused on luxury, safety, gadgetry and other fluff, and maybe some note of reliability. Practicality/utility and performance are de-emphasized outside of those small "man-centric" segments.

Women are the reason shitty impractical crossovers, retardedly small "sedans", and all sorts of other stupidity are taking over the industry.

The only cars I see that are heavily marketed towards men are pickup trucks. They usually have a man narrating them in a hilariously deep voice and talk as if Each. Word. Ends. In. A. Period.

I have never seen a car marketed primarily towards women. Most ads are unisex.

I've found most SUVS / crossovers are marketed / made for women, trucks for men and cars are unisex.

anything you think is marketing to families or "reasonable adults" is actually marketing towards women and their husbands that will do anything for guaranteed (hopefully) AIDS-free sex every night

women want trunk space. PADDED trunk space. for groceries.
men will take the pickup bed and the tarp, you can fit more in it. just put the eggs in the backseat and make the kids hold them, it's no big deal. leg room? they can complain when they have their own cars.

If you're buying new you're buying marketed to women

If you're buying used there is no marketing department trying to play up the luxury commuting features for "chore drivers", aka women. Men are the only sex that routinely makes a morning commute into a risky thrill ride.

It also had some shitty "powerful yet efficient" pussy pedal eco friendly cuck motor. "cruelty free" and easy to wash/like a shitty kitchen in a magazine interior, very light electric power steering, sloshy suspension for a "comfortable ride", it looks really gay and is bland, vapid, tasteless smug liberal "future" bullshit. Costed a gorillion shekels to make, but it didn't hurt the environment.

I would have thought that it was too faggy and even modern westernized women would pass it up for being a cuck-mobile. But it apparently had "very high praise", which is why it's the best selling car ev- oh wait it never came to production.

>>15823599

Are you implying men don't want to have a car best fit for their family, or that they can't be "reasonable adults"?

I'm a man and I want trunk space, ideally with some kind of cargo organization and a rubberized floor so things don't slide around. I also want leg room so both me and the person sitting behind me can be comfortable.

Every individual person has their own unique wants. It doesn't matter what sex, ethnicity, or sexual preference someone has. We are all unique people.

You're not paying attention. Purchasing power doesn't mean that women are necessarily the only ones who end up driving the cars- they just hold a lot of influence in the purchasing decision. A great many cars are family cars, of course.

In other words, car advertising generally has to appeal to women's sensibilities to be successful, but that doesn't mean they want to overtly market the cars to women- that will chase men away, and they need men to buy the cars too. (Men drive more, after all.)

>>15823596
>trucks make up the majority
I suppose I could have been clearer- pickup trucks are a small (but significant) chunk. "Light trucks" do indeed comprise a majority of new car sales, but that category also includes SUVs, (mini)vans, crossovers, and other vehicles that are not pickup trucks.

>say that when you have a steering wheel in your frontal lobe
Who cares? No one depends on me, I can make my own decisions without having to "reason" with a female.

Its the features like hands free hatch opening with your foot.
Standard heated steering wheel, car data plans for kids..etc

Those types of things are targeting women specifically. They even have women raving in the commercials about them many times.
And many times those simple things end up being the deciding factor.
Reliability is hardly considered these days.

Men typically don't get swayed by these weird " features".

>>15823814
I'm saying it's uncommon and that our society's idea of a reasonable adult is either geriatric or female, so the end resutl is all these "resonable commuters" are most preferred by old farts and women. The average man has different priorities. The average woman has different priorities. This is especially apparent since the average man ends up with his own car, usually a truck, and is married at or past 25 so insurance ends up affordable. Drive down any upper-lower or upper class street in the US and everyone has two cars.

Men who take a little more pride in the experience of their passengers are not a common breed, unless they're racecar drivers showing off how smoothly they can take corners. Women who want their kids to be happy, comfortable, and quiet 24/7 are basically standard. However, men WANT their priorities. Women are closer to actually needing them. If you're a manufacturer, whose priorities would you start sacrificing first when attempting a unisex car instead of a seperate mom car and dude car?

This, women make the biggest purchasing decisions on average. Most car ads show something like a mom taking kids to school and talk about safety and practicality, all of those are marketed towards women.

On the other hand miatas are marketed on muh driving feels etc and therefore towards men, even if the car itself looks a bit girly.

Dude buying power of women deformed car market so much in the last two decades that most traditional car categories are now gone or marginal. Now its all castrated SUVs, all kinds of crossbred abominations like Juke and cute hatchbacks all with high seating position.
