Yes! I recently saw some pictures of it in Automobile magazine. Very interesting. I like the Smart, but this is definitely more sophisticated looking.

The smart car is supposed to be THE car to have if you are gay, according to Top Gear, with the SL600 at 4th.

A gay list? Now that's pretty funny.

I wonder if the new VW Beetle is in that list?
One thing about gays, if they live together, there is a lot of money in the bank. So I'm sure the list has a lot of high end cars.

i have to agree... the (new!) beetle does strike me as quite a feminine car (thats the other way of putting it!).... and another car which i find quite girly is the Audi TT. I was attacked by all members of the Audi forums for stating this! what do u guys think? is the TT's styling masculine, feminine, or none in particular?

Of course, it is no surprise about the TT since it shares everything with the new Beetle platform. It is sort of girly looking, but I would take the TT any day over the Beetle.
The Boxster is another girly type of car. And the same goes for the Z3. Now the more chisled Z4 is more aggressive and masculine looking. At least from the pictures. I haven't seen one up close and personal yet. I can only appreciate a car's looks when I can be right up to it looking at it from every angle.

The sport Z3 is manly, the 1.8 is a little. the Boxster does look a bit girly though, it was in Legally Blonde.

Is the sport Z3 the one with the hardtop / hatchback? I've only seen three of those in my travels.

But I would agree if that's the one, that it looks a bit better. It sort of reminds me of those MG's with the same type of hardtop.

The hardtop is an optional extra. the front is different, and there is a bigger, more powerful engine.

The current Smart is funny too. The design is cool, but the car is maybe a little bit too tiny...
Very practical in big towns. Not on the Highway !

I'll start by saying, there is no such thing as a fruity/girly Porsche. There just isn't.

I saw the roadster in the R&T section on the Paris show, looks pretty fun to drive, but only has 82bhp...

What grabbed my eye was the Eco Speedster... It's a closed cockpit Opel Speedster, with 112bhp 1.3 liter turbodiesel engine! It can do 155mph, and get's nearly 100 miles per gallon! That works out about 1 liter/45km
