Ask a woman if she wants to purchase a Dodge Viper and her answer is likely “no”.  This is a V-10, sports car with two seats with a starting sticker price of approximately $80,000.  However, studies show that this car attracts a large proportion of men drivers.  It seems that as far as cars go, men and women have very different taste.

At least 91% of people buying the Viper are men.  In addition, the BMW M5 and Porsche 911 are also large in buyer percentages being male.  The cost of these models is upward of $60,000.  Men tend to equate their vehicle with their image.  They pick cars that will give them a certain status.

What’s popular with women?  The Toyota RAV4 is the #1 choice.  Women dominate as being the purchasers of cars that are small, affordable and easy to buy.  For instance, the Saturn SL, Saturn SC and Saturn ION are popular with women.  These Saturns start at $10,000 and have a “no-hassle” reputation for buying.

It is clear that men and women think differently in many areas, including cars.  Men go for the impressive, fast cars, whereas women go for the small, inexpensive vehicles.  The only thing that these cars have in common is that they come with an auto warranty.
