Women Love VW Beetles
The results are in, and we finally know which vehicles are truly “chick cars.”
"Still irresistible after all these years, the Volkswagen Beetle is the top car among women," writes the Wall Street Journal. "Following closely are the Nissan Rogue and Hyundai Tucson compact SUVs and Volkswagen Eos convertible." Just over 56 percent of registered Beetle owners are women.
In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and bacon is delicious.
The findings come from a study conducted by TrueCar Inc. It "was based on over 13 million actual vehicle registrations, covering the last two years." The study looked at gender differences in car registration.
Aside from the cars most popular with women, Autoblog points out, "There was some other interesting info gleaned from the research, including the revelation that 64% of all cars are registered by men despite the fact that there are more women (at 51% of the population, just a tad) than men in America."
Still, you should take the numbers with a grain of salt. Kicking Tires points out that "the number of women registering cars is different from the number driving or buying them, so these numbers may not reflect precisely who is behind the wheel."
