Does anyone think the C30 is a "Chick Car? Meaning rather it appeals more to the female gender.

Sales results are not showing that.

Personally, I have seen both men and women driving this car (almost equally) with more men favoring the R-design.

My wife likes it, but I don't think it is a chick car. I would rock 1 with with an ATP turbo kit and ARD tune if I were to pick one up, and would probably ask to swap cars with her from time to time though she thinks the R is too low with the factory sport kit and Eibachs.

Saw one the other day and parked my R next to it. Low an behold it was a couple in there mid 30's. He was the driver it appears, but it was also a R model. I thought it was a bad azz little machine myself. Way more manly than a GTI.......

it's funny - the Twilight marketing connection makes it a "chick car" even though only a MAN drives it in the movie......

People tend to say any "small" car is a "chick car"

I don't really give a crap. I LIKE small cars

But he is a blood sucking dude whose been dead for 100 years...not sure that should have been the target male audience of this car, heh. Anyway, as someone posted sales of the vehicle are majority to males. And the R is definitely a man's ride.

I don't need to compensate for anything in the pants department by having a big car.

Besides, way more girls notice my car over a 4WD. Here in Australia most of the (married) girls drive SUV's. Chicks or young girls don't have the money for a nice hatch. GTI or Megane s something that would definitely test my testosterone vs oestrogen levels though. A Mini would be just cause for psychiatric treatment. So maybe the thread should be called...

Is the C30 a chick magnet?

Think of it this way...Volvo started out as a company that produced ball berrings, meaning a company founded with STEAL BALLS!

The Volvo symbol it basically the symbol for MALE
My GF says the shape of the car reminds her of a PENI?;) ....which she loves, and she loves being taken on rides!

Drive faster and harder my friends...no pun intended?.? lol

seriously though, it's a man's car
but anycar can be a man's/women's car depending on styling too. If you saw a pink porsche

remember you car is what you make it, make it yours

I supported a mate at Targa High Country in Victoria. After watching some of the competitors drive like pathetic schoolgirls, I would never be seen dead in a Porshe. I used to love them. Pink or silver, girls car.

Volvo C30 is a chick magnet.
