Yes, it's a "chick" car, but...

I've never disliked the Mercedes CLK. In the EU you can pick one up with 200hp and a manual for €2,500 or so. It could be interesting. Plus, there is a CLK Black and CLK 55 AMG out there, which means I can do things like bolt on better suspension parts. Plus, given that the 230 is a Kompressor, I'm sure there are pulleys and programming available. At < 2000cc the taxes won't be too rough, either.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky? Maybe some flat-black wrap for it, too.

These are girly? I've heard people say that about the SLK but not these. Also no cars are really girly.

No such thing as a chick car. There are just cars.

I hate the term "chick car". I want it to die a fiery death.

It has potential, but I would say that they're more of an old mans cruiser that a chicks car. And it looks too much like a regular E-class, doesn't it?

No, you didn't come off that way. I'm just saying, I've never understood the concept before. All cars are girls, anyway. :P

This is a girly car. A Peugeot 207, being driven by one of its target and only audience.

Na that's just a crap car. I've seen so many of those with halfords wheels and a dude with too much hair gel on behind the wheel. There's one with a fart can and stripes near where my parents live that a dude drives.

"I've seen so many of those with Halfords wheels and a dude..."

I don't think I've ever seen a 206 or 207CC driven by a man. I heard once that not even gay men drive them.

Happens all the time where I live. They especially seem to like the 307cc. In fact one street over there's a Micra C+C, that is owned by a man. The only gay person I know drives a Skoda Fabia 1.4.

Have driven a CLK430 many times, can confirm, lacks gonads, possibly not male. It may not have a gender though, I didnt try taking anything off of it, or touching it in strange places though.

The V8 is just unresponsive, though I havent tried telling it we're going to the mall or a nail salon in an attempt to coax out more motivation.

The seats are the most comfortable things in the world, hands down. Heated, lots of support, leather, perfect amounts of all of those things.

AMG sport package puts good looking side skirts on it, some fancier than stock wheels, and it can go topless, if you pull that up yourself while asking very nicely.

The radio is funky, it automatically gets louder and louder the faster you go, quieting down when you slow down/stop. Very funky.

Steering is meh, handling is meh, but atlow speeds when you roll the throttle, it can give you a very satisfying growl.

Perfect for getting around town, maybe after a tune and exhaust it could be better, but stock, its just meh. Meh with amazing seats.

If I had to drive a Micra CC, I'd have to wear a brown paper bag on my head.

Meh my Panda is probably "girlier" than that Micra. That said I don't want to drive one, being that it's a heavier, floppier Micra and I already don't like driving those.

I wouldn't say these were/are chick cars. I've only ever known Jalop men (put thought into what car they wanted and why) to own them because they are decent cars, cheap and quite fast.

Because everyone knows the only thing nearly as bad as being a girl car is being a gay car. Gotta be a super manly man car to show off your manliness to other men. Because that makes sense.

Interestingly, I knowingly know only one lesbian. She's somewhat butch and drives a 206CC. I don't know what that proves...

Well now you know a pansexual, and she drives a Jeep and a Yamaha and a [American V8 redacted]. It just proves we're people with our own personal taste in cars.
