We all drive a "girls" car

So i saw this on yahoo today. Top 10 cars driven by women. Guess what is #1......Honda Fit.

From the article:

Our all-inclusive list of vehicles with the highest percentage of female primary drivers includes some of the smallest, least expensive cars available, such as the Honda Fit, Kia Spectra and Toyota Yaris. The Fit tops our list encompassing both luxury and non-luxury vehicles, with 80.46 percent driven primarily by women. Go to the accompanying slideshow for the full list.

Here is a link to the article:
What-Women-Want-Female-Drivers-10-Favorite-Vehicles- Yahoo! Autos Article Page


What do you guys...and girls...think about this.

Why would it be a sad day that women prefer the Fit? Women usually have great taste.

They said it was based on "practicality and versatility". Safety and comfort also come in to play. For all those reasons I could see the Fit winning out.

whenever i see a fit, i check to see who is driving it.... the most common type of driver i've observed is middle-aged men.

The fit is like the white whale

I have seen more fits driven by girls or old ladies, but I have only seen about 50 fits since I got mine in July 07. And out of that 50 about 30 were girls or old ladies.
But even if that is the fact, one of my favorite things about the fit is that you don’t see it everywhere. Every time I make a trip I see millions of corollas, civics, and other small cars that just blend in and seem to be driven primarily by girls.
I am glad they are coming out with the new body style for the fit because our body style was only available for two years so there wont be as many of ours. Especially since they were so hard to get a hold of.

Also that might be as in who is registered to the car... I cant speak for everyone but the one that me and my wife own is in her name.... agian i cant speak for everyone but I have a bad driving record (being young and streetruns) so insurance is like 3 times more with my name on the registration...

Thats the attitude you guys should be bringing after reading this. We had a team lunch at work on Friday and all the girls on my team piled into the Fit because they think its cute. I think I've sold these cars to so many people, all the time now people ask me questions and get amazing reviews.

Possible...but doubtful. Most of the Fit drivers I see on the road are guys. Yes there are women but the ratio seems to be 3 guys for 1 female driver. At least in the Orange County, CA area anyway...
