Almost all the coupe drivers I see are women, but then again they are almost always in a 2.5. The 3.5 is definately more manly.

At least chicks dig the ride...

That's awesome. I dunno, I don't see too many around Chicago still. I probably see a couple per week, but it's usually the same 3-4 coupes. If there is a chick driving though, they all seem to be flippin' attractive, so I'm ok with that.

Damn, now that I think about it... the only 4-5 coupes I've seen on the road were driven by girls that fit the scion tc profile.

dont think the 3.5 could ever be considered a chick car, my friends who are pretty into their cars and the whole culture dont even consider my car an 'altima' after riding in it, they all look at it as a mini, everyday driving Z.

given the growl from the 3.5, even the low volume stock sound, cant picture it being a 'chick' car.

(thats not to say girls cant own and appreciate one, when i say 'chick' car im talkin about the stereotype described in OP)

LOL, nice rant, very well played. But so far out hear in my AO I have only seen maybe 6 coupes in the last 3 months. 3 of them where white and 2 where grey and only one was a chick (but she was hot- so it doesnt count) and did I mention they where all 2.5's. I have yet to see another 3.5 on the road.

Hey, I think it's great that there is a bunch of chicks driving around in the 2.5 coupe.

Makes it easier to find 'em !!

And I can catch them, mine is the 3.5 !!!!

Around my area there aren't many coupes at all - i think i've seen 2. A white 2.5 S (not SL...) owned by a chick that goes to my gym, and another 2.5 SL owned by this woman at work....

I've still yet to see another 3.5 - people are afraid...

..an lemme guess...ur at least an 8 outta 10?.....figures.....like i said in one of my early posts...all chicks who drive coupes are hot....even if they arent when the get them...the car has magical powers..it turns em hot after theyve been drvin em for a while...ask your selves....has ANYONE seen a fugly chick commanding an alti coupe?..ill do ya one better...heres my official coupe color to girl type scale....

white coupe....hot chick...usually single or can be when she wants to ..blonde..high teen to low mid 20's....lets say 19-24...can be snotty...but still the type ud go out of your way to get..wears pants with logos on butt....smell of hair spray/ gel floats throughout car at all times...

red coupe...very pretty...seductive..not typically single but still likes people to look...mid twenties to high 20's...very out goin and fun...but can be serious when needed..short classy skirts, heels, and big sunglasses!think cool soccer mom with flair...

black coupe....now heres the thriller...a chick streering a black coupe...probably smokes marlboro red and drinks bud right from the bottle..she has no age range but usually teters out at about 30...she tells you where to go and how...and you dont go after her...she goes after you!..leather pants, halter tops..and hello kitty sock under boots are the uniform of the black coupette.

gry coupe/ silver coupe....older or at least a more mature lady...less flambouant..but still hot...think of that hot teacher we all had...some still do...dark hair pulled back.. sheer button down dress top, longish skirt..but u knew there was a thong lurkin under it... a woman's color...and sorry fellas,,,chicks in gry coupes...are 90% taken...

blue coupe.....havent seen one girl in a blue coupe...drivin it anyway!

Hmm.. There's a black 2.5 that parks in the spot right next to me. I havent seen the driver, but given your excellent sociological breakdown of the A/C culture. I'm gonna be waiting for that Vixen. Pick myself a pack of 'boro's and a 12 of 16oz Bud heavies.

I'll say my name is Nightrain and my Slate Grey 3.5 is looking for the right lady to show it a few things. Vroom Vroom *wink* bow chick a wow wow.

random: i've got a gf, but the imagery i get is of Angelina Jolie in that recent movie (assasin or whatever it was). I'll drink gasoline to make myself seem more badass and smoke a butt while doin it.

Haha..this is freakin' hilarious. All true minus the blonde hair and snotty!

Lately I've been seeing a ton of coupes, especially in Newport and a few in Irvine..probably on their way to Stillen!

I have seen a lot more coupes driving around... a lot of that has to do with the better deals they are offering on both the 3.5 and 2.5.... but all of the (very few)3.5's I've seen had guys driving them, and all of the 2.5's I've seen have had chicks driving them

MOst chicks driving them in San Diego keep them bone stock, so, luckily for me, none of them resemble my car at all... I think I have the most modded out A/C in San Diego so I'm safe from being mistaken as a teeny bopper...

Honestly I've seen 4 coupes in my travels through PA, NYC, and NJ this past year. I've never seen a woman driving them. I'm pretty sure 3 coupes were 3.5s and one was a 2.5.
