Gender question

hmm... outlook not so good. I think Acura has spent their time selling to younger males than on females. Sad because, I do see the ILX as a car that can really appeal to females. The issues guys have with the ILX won't have as much issue with females IMO.

my wife is the daily driver of our ILX. so I'd say she is the owner/driver of it.

I agree, I think female drivers would find a lot to like with the ILX (AT probably not MT)
They bought a lot of Civics!

My friend Donna bought her red 2.0 tech package after driving mine which is the hybrid tech in blk. She did mention that she had no idea acuras were such great cars.

My wife drives her 2.4L 6sp car everyday ; I only get to drive it on weekend trips. Her last automatic was an 00 Accord 6cyl coupe

LOL Well that was sexist.
I'm a male that went with the automatic because it's simply more luxurious and worth more during resale.

First Bri's sexy ass Zenki 240. Ask her ONE question about her whip and she'll rally off everything she has done and had done to it. She loves her car more than most dudes I know.

Also, don't forget that women aren't very inclined to surf around Internet forums, even less likely on ones about cars. Go on Flickr or Tumblr or any social photography site and search ILX's. Plenty females are interested in the ILX... I'm kind of surprised at how young some of the women owners are.

Trust me, The Acura brand as a whole is pretty good with the ladies... lol.

I noticed a lot of female ILX owners on Instagram

Yeah I guess it was kinda sexist, didn't mean for it to be. I'm sure there are lotsa' women out there that can out drive a lot of us. Just wanted to know if any forum members were women.

I understood where you were going. I don't think it's sexist to say women are the minority in car enthusiasm. Doesn't seem there are any on here.

LOL Nah man I was playin around. I didn't really think it was sexist but any women hearing you generalize that they dont like manuals would probably rip you a new one. LOL

My two cents. The ILX isn't really on anyones GO BUY NOW list. Chances are a girl's "guy friend" will say subaru or mazda. Their parents will probably say Toyota, Honda, or Nissan. If their guy friends are into american cars they might say a new Camaro or Mustang.

The only time I saw women walk into the Acura dealership was when their father already owned a MDX or TL. The few times I did see this it was apparent they had money so the ILX wasn't even a thought. They went straight to the TSX or TL.

Just what I have seen and would imagine.

When I bought mine a girl was at the dealer debating on either a tsx or ilx and there's a lady a little older then me driving one up around Anaheim hills. Other than that I don't see many ILX's around

Essentially this thread is trying to call out the ladies. No ones taking the bait
