Top Cars That Attract Women

"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money." So goes the Good Charlotte song, at least. Experience driving a lot of new cars suggests Joel and Benji could be on to something, because we've noticed pretty substantial swings in feminine interest depending on what car we're testing at the time. And forget boy favorites like the Mustang, 911, Evo or M3: most women aren't impressed and see their drivers as self-absorbed. Some of the ladies' favorites include:
