The only reason middle age women were driving Allante's in the late 80's and early 90's is because their rich (or debt-stricken) husbands bought them for them. They didn't want a Deville or Brougham because that was still a large "old lady" slow poke car, and an Eldorado wasn't expensive enough and was too big. So they wanted an expensive little luxury car.

Also women were leaving the "stay at home" era and were becoming competent members of the workplace, and this little luxury sports car was a symbol of that freedom. So the Allante is not a "girlie" car; it's a regular car (that men could like too) that women came in and identified with as they became social equals of men.
 
I'd rock an Allante, just not one with the 4100.
 
Anytime I see an Allante, I think of Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon 3.
LOL or Slyvester Stallone in Tango n Cash.


For the record, and I'm somewhat embarrassed for knowing this, but Mary Kay has the CTS, SRX, Escalade, and XLR as Mary Kay models...


Correction...CTS, SRX, DTS, and some other GM cars. Thought the XLR was one too.....
 
OK, let's talk about the kind of car a woman would drive. The CTS is a feminine vehicle. It's small, easy to drive, and "cute" to some. It's not as fast as its masculine V brother, and it's the cheapest Caddy. Think of the C-class or the 3-series, or especially the A4 and S40. Not a man's car.
 
My point exactly.

And to those that think anything pink is girlie; does that mean Elvis or Dirty Harry were girlie? Real men don't get hung up by colors. I'd rock a pink DTS anytime, because it's still a friggin DTS. Or that pink '79 CDV in Goodfellas, hell yeah I'd drive it.
