Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

All 'bellas' are women's cars by definition. And men's too. To ascribe an implied insult that "it's a women's car" to any Alfa is just plain ridiculous. If Alfa's were people they would BE women!

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

Have only seen two on the road in the last year and have to say they were both being driven by women... wether it is a womans car or not is not important, what is important was the huge smile on both drivers faces, priceless how many BMW/Audi drivers do u see grinning from ear to ear as they drive down the motorway.

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

My fiancee reckons the GT is an old mans car. I think that's a bit extreme, but I do think it's a blokish grown up car.

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

One of the things that attracted me to the GT is that it looks quite masculine and I quite like the fact that most of the other GTs I see are driven by men

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

it's funny you should mention this — around where I live there are LOADS of women GT owners, whereas I always saw it as more of a lad's car. Proves me wrong

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

Theres nowhere to vote for a gay man

Of course its a mans car..until the missus pinches it and you never see it again (I never get to see my Sportwagon hardly)

And i'd love a GT..fabulous looking thing

Not an 'obviously woman's car' at all. It's a muscular looking car, in a graceful way.

Re: Is the Alfa GT a woman's car?

the boxter is deffo a womans car!
the GT is for everyone! alfas swing both ways in my opinion, as good as they look they always look better with a woman behind the wheel!
and we should have a poll asking how many people smile while driving, sure i've seen other alfa drivers smiling as they roll, and i sure do fairly often!

I don't think I've seen a woman driving one either but I don't think of it as either one or the other.

A mature choice perhaps. It certainly isn't a car that would appeal to young chavved up Saxo types. Maybe that's what she meant.
