TCC's CarGirl on what 'Real Women' drive
Not too
long ago, Autoblog drew your attention to the hilarious column by The Car Connection's Doug
Flint about what 'Real Men' drive. Like the stereotypical male, Real Men drive straightforward, utilitarian rides that
lack any sort of pretense whatsoever. But what does the Real Woman drive? Answering our challenge, The Car
Connection's CarGirl takes a stab at the answer to that question.
Carol Traeger tells us that the garages of real women contain a a collection of vehicles as complex as the Real Woman herself. Paper or plastic? Bachelor Number One or Number Two? Porsche Boxster S or Chrysler Pacifica? '59 Caddy or Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible Turbo? Like anything in a Real Woman's life, the answer to anything is, "it depends."

I saw this over on TCC and was wondering when you would post on it. I still like how they compare it to "the woman's needs". Still good to get both sexes point of view.

Nothing complex about an automatic. Sure women like all sorts of cars, but when it comes to sports cars, the automatic ones are for women; especially the top of the line ones(i.e. Mustang GT). No real man would drive a sports car with an automatic......I'm such a pig, but thems the rules.

No chance that DSG or SMG would sway you, even if it is faster than a traditional manual (which DSG-equipped VWs are)?

The only people who look good in a VW Beetle are teen aged girls. Everybody else looks like Bozo the Clown in one of those things, I think.
The Beetle convertible is a cute car--too bad the Beetle's service record is so lousy.
