I have seen a probably pretty even spread...only difference is I seem to see more guys in R-Designs. I Drive a 3.2 and when I see those it tends to be women...ahh if money was no object I might have the cosmic white RDesign I saw yesterday.

 

It's a chick car. No question. I just bought one -- for my wife.

 

Leadfoot Dave feels mighty manly in my XC60, thankyouverymuch.

 

I'm manly in mine.... I think...

 

The reason I ask is because I'm cross shopping this car and the FX35 for myself. I'd get the R-design model. I just see more men in the FX35. I prefer a FWD based AWD drive system over the ATTESSA-ETS RWD base AWD system in the FX35.

 

who gives a sh*t it more men or women are driving a vehicle? If you like it and it fits your needs - BUT IT! XC60 gets you way more for your money and .... it's awesome....so I say getcha one!

 

Geesh...hit a nerve, did I?

 

agreed...who cares if more women drive it. if you want it to look butch def get the R-design and ride around with roof racks on it. To me is not a car that screams one sex or another. If anything the FX seems more feminine for all its curvaciousness. But then I think the FX is and overly styled premium gas guzzler. I like the understated design of the xc60 in that it doesnt scream "I threw in the extra money for all the chrome shiney bits". Also I think an xc60 would be sportier, as the FX is basically huge...the EX is probably more similar in size but way less practical than the XC60. JMHO

 

I too have seen many female drivers of the XC60; however, I have seen 6 or 7 R-Design XC60s in the past year and all seemed to have male drivers.

 

It's pretty much split right down the middle: 51% Male, 49% Female (according to Strategic Vision).

 

I'm evaluating installing a male genital extension onto the front grille in case I don't feel manly enough in my XC. I'll post pictures...

 

LOL! Add a lift kit while you're at it too

 

I don't think it is a chick car. I have seen more women driving it for sure, but I have seen plenty of men driving it too. Ours is my wife's daily driver but I never hesitate to take the keys from her when we both go somewhere together. It's a lot more fun to drive than my Tahoe

 

Thanks for all the replies.

 

I honestly never see other women driving XC60s, especially not R-Designs. I say, find what fits your needs and go with it. I see far more women driving the FX35 than I do the XC60.

 

I am a chick. I will drive the xc60 once it arrives--without Drat's additional detailing.

 

I bought one, but my wife tends to drive it and I'm stuck with the S40 most of the days :-(

We (my wife and I) compromised, she really wanted an Xc60 after she crawled all over a 3.2 brown one with beige interior. I too like the car and the compromise was simple...

we now have a passion red R-design with 20" wheels on order....secretly my wife probably got her way in the end. The arguments over who will drive are sure to come.

 

For my wife, But I just LOVE it,gotta say more chicks drive SUVs in general, at least here in Sydney.
