I can tell you 100% what car will not gather attention from either sex.
I recently bought a 1990 Porsche 944 s2. My wife likes porsches apparently, just not the one I've got. Every time she sees a 911 she says "now that's a Porsche". She will just about get in it but wouldn't be seen dead driving it and all her friends snigger at my mid life crisis if I mention it.
My male friends just take the piss as I went from motorbikes which they all still ride to an old car. I definitely had more interest from women from the bikes. Not when I was on them, but there was something about how women behaved towards me if the subject turned to bikes.

Personally I'd have a 944 S2 over a motorbike every day of the week, great buy!

I think it's a risk taking thing. In the same way that saying you're a skydiving instructor is going to be sexier than saying you're an IT consultant.

Surprised it's got this far without any reference to the Citroen SM. Sublime elegance, no ego. Jackpot.
