Indeed. Also oddly gets looks from girls too. Has happened a couple times, but yesterday I had a rather hot chick in very clean new Civic hatch eyeball the car and flash me a smile. :notbad: GTI never got that treatment, everyone just called it cute. :rolleyes:

IDK, my blue winged car doesn't seem to get much attention in general despite the wing, ramz, and loud-ish stock exhaust. Certainly not from girls.

From my limited polling, women do not like the wing. At all.

TBH short of an exotic or NEW luxury MB women I've polled aren't impressed with cars of any sort.

I won't believe for a second that the STI doesn't get looks. I am not saying good or bad, but certainly looks. That WANG is atrociously large, and everyone notices it. Then it comes down to personal preference.

Outside of actual racekars or P cars that you have to give up liver for in order to get a chance to buy, P1s with full aero extended there is no other vehicle with a wing that big.

Infamous likes the Corvette, oddly.

But she really loves the truck. She did admit that she's over the lifted bro truck thing, she just thinks regular pickups are "hot".

Whatever...the bench seat certainly facilitates taking advantage of the "hot", so I'm not complaining.
