Washington DC March 20, 2007; The AIADA newsletter reports that according to MSNBC, the cars driven predominantly by men all have a showy streak and plenty of power under the hood.

A list of the top 10 vehicles with the highest percentage of male primary drivers was released based on a CNW Marketing Research Poll. All but three of the cars on the list have at least one variant that puts out 400 hp or more.

If nothing else, this affirms the age-old stereotype of guys' love affair with muscular dream cars.

According to CNW data, women aren't as concerned with making a statement about their image when buying a luxury car.

The data shows that a high percentage of well-heeled female drivers prefer cars such as the Audi A6, Lexus LA and various Volvos — cars that are speedy, fashionable and luxurious, but that have understated design and quiet sophistication.

They aren't attention-grabbers like a yellow Lamborghini or a stretched Rolls-Royce. "This list is filled with 'image vehicles,'" says Art Spinella, president of CNW. "Men don't seem to be basing their decisions on practicality; their choices are pretty testosterone-based. Women are more practical."
