The only women's opinions that matter to me are my wife and daughters'. I bought PDK (and Tip on the 996 we used to have) so my wife could also drive it. (She says she can drive manuals, she just needs to be taught.) Anyway, she loves driving OUR car. It probably doesn't hurt that she gets compliments at stop lights from good looking younger men!

My wife thinks the thing looks like a frog. She also doesn't like the fact that compared to my daily driver which is an automatic, I can't hold her hand non-stop driving the Porsche as I have to shift.
HOWEVER, I guess she does love me since when I took the car in to add the side skirts, seat belt swap, and the TechArt springs, she suprised me by going in the day after I dropped the car off and paid the balance of doing all the work

ok, gentlemen, woman here...Opposite end of the spectrum for me. I love cars. No kids. No husband now. Most of my colleagues, male, are jealous!!!! Why, their wives wouldn't let them have a car, have kids that are in expensive private schools, divorce and paying through the nose, etc. The car is for me! i love how it drives, handles, sounds and feels!!!
There are many more things that impress me about men other than their cars! But that is another thread...

i do like your style however... cars are to be enjoyed for their own sake.

When I met my wife (I was in my mid 40's), I owned 14 cars, she has never understood my passion for cars, or the fect that they change so often, but she has come to realize this is my thing. Ten years later, I have 5 year old twin boys (who can already spot almost any car on the road, & read my car mags with me), a few less cars, but the same passion. My wife tells her friends that is there was a naked women on one side of the street and an exotic car on the other, I would not even notice the women.

In Indiana, a Porsche sighting is a rarity, even the Cayenne that my wife drives. I've never had a woman make a comment about the 996. I think many women either don't notice it, don't know what it is, or don't care. A few guys have made comments in parking lots or gas stations, but never a woman.
My wife likes the 996. She loves the way it looks and the color. She doesn't like how low it is, making it hard to get in and out. She also likes the luxury factor that the Cayenne offers compared to the 996, but that's not a big issue because the 996 is my DD and the Cayenne is hers.

Just yesterday upon seeing it for the first time my 18yo niece (woman I guess) said "ohhh...nice little Ferrari
Most of the other women that have commented say something similar to, " oh, it's so pretty!" But the wife loves it and knows that I do and that's the most important woman's opinion!!!!
