Default Is the tC no longer a chick car?

Everyone and their sisters had a tC1...do you guys think the tC became a more masculine car with its more agressive styling?

Pretty annoying. I always try to find other tC drivers on the road and just hope they are enthusiasts like we are. Just to drive up and there is a damn girl in the driver's seat. What a waste of time trying to drive up next to them.

I think it is more of a masculine car. I have only seen one other tC2 with a girl in it. I saw an RS6 on the highway and was really excited to go drive by it. I looked in and it's just some middle aged lady that could care less about an RS6 and an RS7 together.

what made it a girl car was all those morons ricing it out and putting a bagillion stickers and leds etc etc... if they haden't done that in the begining no one would have that girl card poser car image.

and IMO no one cares about the tc2 because its ugly. thats why no ones talking about it. it has no hype.

TCs with automatic transmissions are still chick cars.

Lol have you not read all the threads about quality control issues with the tC2? Still rattles, cheap rip-prone seat fabric, etc. The only thing I can say is better than the tC1 is the 6-speed. And even that has a retrofit kit now.

have you ever looked at your interior? or driven a tc2 other than yours. those things are just as worse. the only nice thing is the 6spd. and even then ive raced a few of those mega uber tc2s and i kill them worse then the tc1's.

I'm hoping their price point will keep some of the younger crowd from getting them. The FR-S section will be like a SL oasis for the mature enthusiast lol.
