ForbesAutos.com has
just published a story on the most popular vehicles for men and women,
based on a study by automotive consultancy and research firm AutoPacific.
Not
surprisingly, trucks came out on top as the most popular vehicles bought
by men.
Forbes cites
the Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 Heavy Dutys and Ford F-350 Super
Duty pickups as having the highest overall male ownership - 93%
for both trucks. Overall, about 90% of three-quarter-ton and one-ton
HD pickups are purchased by men.
In the light
duty segment, the Nissan Titan is 91% owned by men. And for combined
light and heavy duty models, the Dodge Ram has 89% male ownership.
AutoPacific
conducts its annual market survey of new car
and light truck buyers. One of the questions asked is which sex bought
which vehicle. We're
expecting our own copy of the survey results from AutoPacific later
this week, and we'll update the story then with additional male/female
breakdowns for truck makes and models.
Oh yeah,
women prefer Volkswagen's New Beetle most, at 65% ownership. It's available
in colors like 'Gecko Green' and 'Sunflower Yellow'.
