I don't understand this website....The car is catered to girls who are interested in, well, the features of that car! While you may not like pink, or UV-blocking windshields, or any of the other features you feel were placed there just for women, there are some girls (like me), who see it for what it is: a simple marketing ploy not intended to make any particular statements about women, or femininity. And, I think the car is cute. The bottom line is that if a pink car, a "controversial" advertisement, or pretty much any "detrimental" thing presented on this website affect you as a female, and allow it to somehow lower your self-esteem or image, then you've got a serious fundamental problem anyway. The media is not responsible for your self-esteem: you are. ??? I don’t understand this website….The car is catered to girls who are interested in, well, the features of that car!
