Amazingly, I have to say the lists were concieved by a man.
Working with almost entirely women, I have heard the girls refer to Vipers, Vettes, and Camaros as "penis substitutes". IE "Small penis, must buy large, fast, "manly" car.
For the most part, women are more impressed with a guy that is secure enough in his manhood, that he doesn't have to drive some "super-car". For instance: "The Highlander" no-one can say that McLeod's girl Tessa (or for that matter Amanda) wasn't smokin' hot. For most shows he drove a Citroen sedan.

In the Canada shows He drove an old Thunderbird convertible. Not hot rods, but big comfortable cars, that couldn't be classified as "gayboy" cars or "old guy" cars.
I actually like Miatas, but you'd never catch me in one. I want a car that I can ride in, not one that I'd "wear".
