Top 10 Cars Driven Mostly by Men

In a recent study, conducted by CNW Marketing Reserach for Forbes, they found that the Maybach was the car brand most driven by men. Mercedes picked up three spots on the list, with the Maybach (both 57 and 62), the GL-Class, and the G-Class. One reason that the Maybach came on top and with such a wide margin is probably due to the fact that only 156 were sold in the US last year, and with a price tag of a 4 bedroom home, a female (and probably more rational person) won’t be enticed by such a luxurious vehicle.

1. Maybach 57 and 62 - 95% male drivers
2. Mercedes-Benz GL-Class - 90.47%
3. Lamborghini - 90.32%
4. Rolls-Royce Phantom - 90%
5. Dodge Viper - 89.87%
6. Mercedes-Benz G-Class - 88.84%
7. Ferrari - 85.82%
8. Cadillac Escalade ESV - 85.13%
9. BMW 6 Series - 81.71%
10. Aston Martin - 81.25%

Re: Top 10 Cars Driven Mostly by Men

Mercedes covers all bases. SLK used to be strictly for women, current CLK still is save the Black Series IMO.

Presumably, there's a 5% ratio that are ... unless ... no ... they wouldn't ... use ... chimpanzees would they?
