The Celica was marketed toward Women from `86 onward. The Alltrac/GT4 wasn't marketed much, but what marketing there was for it was aimed at men, particularly race fans.

However, the 6th Gen, lacking a USDM GT4 variant was marketed toward women.

As for assigning gender toward a car, it has a lot to do with the car's perceived personality. Both of my Celicas are Female; Chaos and Mudhoney. However, my `67 New Yorker is male; Socrates. The difference here is the stately presence he exudes. While both Chaos and Mudhoney are chomping at the bit and raring to tear up the next corner, Socrates commands respect from his mere presence. It is in my mind that both Chaos and Mudhoney are young girls thriving on the next experience that life has to offer, while Socrates has been there, seen it, and written the 'How To' manual on it.

This is just my opinion on the matter.

Here for a difference is my wife's.

She has owned two cars in her life. Both Buick Regals. Her first car, she named Dolly, because the car had a big long nose, similar to a renowned singers ample bosoms. This car was inherently female. However, her second Regal, she named Parton, in homage of her first car, which was named after the singer. This car however, is male.

Again, I think it is all in the perspective of the owner and the personality they assign to the car.

Without this assigned personality, a car is just a car, and as such an asexual mechanical mode of transport.

Being a 'Car Guy,' I can not accept that. My car is an extension of myself, and as such will have a personality unique to what I perceive of the car.

Holy crap, dude...where you've been?

Eh, I only lurk here from time to time. I am on nearly all the Celica sites, I just spend more time on some than others. I am still around though.
