Chick cars to my understanding are sporty cars but with civilized interiors. Even pseudo-sporty can do the trick. It matters how it looks not what it does. That of course stems from the fact that women in general are more superficial than us men. *prepares flameshield*
What should the average car do, carry people at a moderate speed from one place to the other. I estimate that people that see it this way are right.
I look if the engine is well placed (mine is not), if the weight distribution looks right, there is a good power to weight ratio, I have sufficient torque in lower rpms.... but does that really do something to "carry people at a moderate speed from one place to the other."
Now a chick car:
I always found the Mercedez Benz SLK a chick car:
However my masculin side would have absolutely no issue with this one:
To me it seems there is a feminine thing in elegance, light and a masculine thing in power, brutal for a car. This does not make a woman that has a Hummer less feminine or a man in a Lancia Ypsilon less masculin.
Even slammed Miatas look very feminine to me. So yea I would call it chick car just cuz it looks girly and that's all the phrase "chick car" means to me. 94-98 mustangs look really girly too.
