Some say sports cars such as the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Audi RS5, Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evolution are manly while others think that real men drive muscle cars and 4x4s like the Land Rover Defender, Hummer H1 and Ford F-150 Raptor. Whatever the case may be, we can all agree on the fact that some cars were clearly designed with the woman driver in mind.
