So they've got divorced moms in a car that will make certain they trash their ex should they run into them. Where did this Hollywood notion that the SL65 is a chick car come from? We are all just a little dumber now for having heard what Forbe's has to say on this issue. People who know nothing about cars need to keep what they think they know to themselves.

I like Mercedes, but I would go with Lamborghini Countach instead of Jaguar.

The driving purist category is my favorite! DB9

Louie... I might have to agree with you. Those two autos are jawdroppingly beautiful

E-Type YES! Although I love the 300SL I can't put it in the same class as the Jag. Both good choices though.

yeah I highly doubt a chick would buy a SL65 AMG. They don't care for a twin turbo V12 so i don't think they would spend the money for a car that looks exactly like a lower model but with a bigger engine. and all the chicks i know would kill themselves trying to drive that.

well chicks in general just like fancy cars and don't care too much for performance. so a mercedes sounds very "divorced wife".

and i had to LOL at this

"Sexiest car for gays= Toyota Prius
Sexiest car for lesbians= Jeep Wrangler"

For one I find it offensive that Forbes would even mention "mobsters" as these gangs are a serious problem and should not be glorified or encouraged.

Second I don't think the writer ever went through a divorce because I can't think of any couples who could afford such cars after their divorce, their lawyers, yes .

Well, guess I am marking down forbes on my dumb *** list

Here's another category for you:

Sexiest small car: Mini Cooper Mk1 and 1973 Fiat 500 (again a tie).





Gotta love Luigi from the movie "Cars"!
