As far as the Camaro being a guys car or not, I would rather see GM and the other makers orient some of their cars to one side or the other than appeal to everyone. Attempting to please everyone results in a car that people will eventually settle for but few will be drawn to. As for what seperates 'guys cars' from 'chick cars' (no offence meant), well im not very sure. Men seem to want something that is capable of doing more than just going from point A to point B. Women tend to want cars that make that journey as easy as possible. I don't know, its hard to generalize these things because of all the exceptions out there. And this is getting a bit off topic anyway
I would add that women are more drawn to comfort, function, and features that contribute to function. For example, a GPS system would be nice in case she got lost. Guys prefer raw speed and power with loud noises and showoff features. For example, huge rims, racing stripes, and a buttload of horsepower don't hurt.
