F Type Goes After 25 to 54 Year Old Males
#21
Men 25-54, because at 55----? By the way, why just men? Certainly there are female buyers that think this car is desirable too? -or maybe not.... What kind of car DO female buyers want? What is targeted at them? Not this Jag? Honda civics and cute SUVs? -comfortable efficient cars with plenty of storage space? Are women just too practical and sensible to spend this kind of $ on a car--any car? Are there any women f-type owners on this forum?

Just had a conversation with my wife about this. She would never buy an F-Type... it wouldn't even have occurred to her. She likes how it looks, but it doesn't appeal to her like it does to me.
In her opinion, women tend to more attracted to cars based on needs, where men tend to be attracted to cars based on wants. In her opinion, men in general seem to be more interested in bragging rights or symbols of status, and cars like the F-Type and 911's and exotics tend to support that. Women in powerful roles or in positions where they need to keep up with men may do the same thing, but usually only if they have another more conservative or "family friendly" vehicle as well.
So in her opinion, the F-Type probably appeals more to younger women who don't have kids, or older women who are well heeled, highly competitive, and/or work in a male dominated field need to show off their own status symbol now and then.
Of course there are ton of generalizations involved there, so I'm sure it doesn't apply across the demographic of women, but it seems reasonable to me.

The designer apparel industry would be out of business if this were true.

As far as female buyers all I know is that my wife loves my F Type as much as I do. On the days i'm not driving it she usually steals it lol. But if she was single would she buy one? I doubt it simply cause she wouldn't be able to afford it on her own. Btw she is close to my age as well which is mid 30's.

I suppose priority one for women--and men, is getting the kids and stuff around safely. I actually owned a minivan at one point because it was the most useful, etc.... I never lost the desire to have MY car, the car I drove to work every day be something special. So, I have owned a convertible, and a sports sedan. Many vehicles are a compromise. I want the four seats, the storage, the power, the reasonable insurance and payments, but the fun too. As I get older, comfort is beginning to be more important, so I have not decided 100% to get an f-type. Still, it is very special, beautiful, cool, and fun. And fun is taking an increasing priority too.
Yes the F-type is so impractical, even I will have to have another car/truck as well, just to go to home depot, etc. I don't see many women wanting that something special just for them to drive to work, or around town, or just for fun. Many men I know do.
This may be one of the great unsolvable mysteries of the universe.

I've seen a couple female owners (at least drivers) around LA. They have all been in convertibles though. The convertible sports car has always been appealing to a segment of women in my observations. The F-Type is one of the best looking on the market so it wouldn't surprise me if there are a lot of female buyers out there looking at the F-Type.
