No, that's like asking if there is a manly purse a guy can buy.

The Jeep Liberty is not too bad. I drove a friend's today and towed my boat with it. (It was a diesel though , that adds extra manly points)

So I gather we men (i.e. non-metrosexual types), are stuck with fuel hungry full size SUVs!

What are some of the mini SUVs a real man would feel would feel proud of driving if there are any?

You know, THIS IS A GREAT THREAD!

Was looking at an SUV purchase late this year, and running into the same feeling - something small enough that my wife might feel comfortable driving, but still with a little macho... I looked at the 2009 Forrester - the redesign is not bad on the 2.5T Limited but it just doesn't do it, even with AWD and Lance Armstrong as spokesman...

I found myself checking out the BMW Xi wagons...but a wagon? A wagon?

Even with M effects? What do you think?

hehe...it is good to have a car that you and your partner will be comfortable to drive with...but is there any that will look feminine but still look macho...that's why most people go on a plain car...simple and can drive by anyone..

This car looks too metrosexual IMHO.

You could make this a bit more manly with the right paint job and mods.

What do you think about a Scion xB?

So you're telling me you could make a feminine care like the BMW X3 more manly by changing the tires and adding bars?

I find it hard to believe.

Toyota FJ Cruiser or a Hummer H3

with a few mods, both are extremely capable offroad machines that I've seen go places that my lifted 4x4 F150-FX4 cant get to
