2012: Highest proportion of male buyers

[Bruce]

Don't know how accurate this really is...but either way, thought it was interesting.

Take a look at the 10 cars with the highest proportion of male buyers and you'll find that many have certain things in common. We're talking phallic, fast and pricey -- these are the models that fuel the fantasies of car-obsessed 14-year old boys, and ease the mid-life crises of affluent 50-year-old men.
Included in our list below are two Ferraris, a Porsche, and an Audi that all but stole the spotlight from Robert Downey, Jr. in that Iron Man movie from a few years back. Sports cars aren't the only vehicle category represented. You'll also find a couple of brawny trucks in the lineup -- because, you know, guys like trucks.

88.4% of the people who bought the Ferrari California are male? I bet at least half of them bough it for their wives and daughters.

SLS-California-911.

Wow, my 3 favorites right on top of each other. I guess I have very "manly taste" after all.

I was thinking the same exact thing.
