Oh yeah, there'* far more obvious examples of "girl cars" out there. You forget the PT cruiser (more like an ugly middle aged girl car)...

The reason I ask is that my bro is looking for one. He'* got a $5,000 car budget. And he wants an Alero!? I say it'* a girl car. He can do better for that money.

I almost bought an Alero (granted it was blue/purple) on the basis it was a "really cute car". So, that might tell you something.... :P

Naw..well, maybe, the Intrigue is more of a mans car...so that leaves the Alero.

only alero I would own would be one of the Final 500. Other than that, I might have to go with mostly a girls car, although I know several guys with them. I have never really been impressed with them wither. Besides, the Intrigue has a better body kit in my opinion.

Found this one but it isn't the one I am thinking of...

well like everyone else has said i do see a lot of girls driving them, same thing with GAs, Sunfires, Cavaliers, yada yada...they were probably designed to appeal to a female market, actually the Alero was supposed to compete with the import tuner craze, so its subtle and cute just like all of them...but if he wants to get one i say go ahead.

Naw..well, maybe, the Intrigue is more of a mans car...so that leaves the Alero.
well said Jim...well said

and holy wow those body kits look so sexy...the red looks like my car...in my dreams. if ground clearance wasnt already an issue i might just snag one of those..i live in the country on gravel roads..and i already scratch the bottom of my car on my driveway at times.
