Do you drive a "Ladie's" Car?

[sunairco]

Over the years I've dealt with some obnoxious car salesmen but I had an experience a few weeks ago that's one for the books. My wife and I have spent nearly a year researching and narrowing down a short list of compact SUV's to check out. We went into a Honda dealership to test drive the CR-V and maybe the Element. This salesman marked us and started to trail us around the showroom. While my wife was inside the vehicle trying to get an intitial impression, this jackass starts trying to chat me up. Normally they're pretty slick with affable chit chat trying to feel you out if you're going to be one of the suckers that are more concerned with the monthly payment amount. Not this jackass. Right off the bat he's dropping hints that the CR-V is a "ladies" vehicle. He doesn't let up. Funny part about this is she's in the vehicle and it's obvious that she's concerned if it works for her. Meanwhile he's walking me around the car it's non-stop hints that the rear hatch was designed for a 5' woman, the seats are designed for a woman, the rear seats were designed to accomodate kid's car seats,you can clean up messes easily, the engine is adequate for schlepping around town, groceries..yada yada, hell he even outright told me that the car was designed specifically for women with young kids. Problem is I'm not making the decision to buy the car, she is and he should be working this line on her,not me. We're obviously past the age of a couple with young kids, and I'm getting this non-stop pitch that I'm getting a car with a pussy that probably has a tampon dispenser accessory available. I'm surprised he didn't ask me to look between the rear tires to see that it didn't have a pair hanging below. Then he starts trying to get me over to look at their large Pilot SUV and starts emphasizing the power, all wheel drive, ruggedness...WTF?

Is this something new? You try and shame the male to get him to go for a "man's" car? I never gave a flying rip what anyone thought of the vehicle that I drove.

Did the salesman also tell you he could be done with the paperwork and have you drive your new car off the lot and be able to make the 8:00 showing of Eat Pray Love?
