Absolutely, Jim-
I don't call a Spec Miata a "chick car," it's a race car. But seeing a
1st gen. on the street, that's different. I would drive a Miata race
car on the track, but not a street one on the street, if that makes
sense.

I know there are tons of people who wouldn't drive a STi or Evo- they
have obnoxiously large wings and spoilers, lack refinement and luxury
amenities and don't ride comfortably.

Also, with the STi or Evo, you get challenged by every ricer out there
and then some. I was test-driving the Evo and a woman in a Galant (not
a VR-4) wanted to do a stoplight drag, although after getting smoked
the 2nd time, she stopped.

I'd still be concerned that a Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice, etc. would
be considered a "chick car." The New Beetle, Audi TT, New Mini, Miata,
Eclipse- all fall in that category, unfortunately. I wonder if the
Crossfire does as well.
