The Ladies put us in the TOP 3!


We all have our ideas on “a woman’s car” — that is, vehicles more often than not bought and driven by women — but a new report backs up those purchase decisions with hard data, revealing which models and brands are preferred by females.

TrueCar, a Santa Monica firm that gathers vehicle buying and pricing data, said its study on gender differences is based on 13 million vehicle registrations from the past two years.

In addition to finding which car models are most often purchased by women, the study found some other interesting tidbits, including the fact that more men than women — a rate of 64% to 36% – register vehicles in the U.S., even though females make up 51% of the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

When it comes to the car models themselves, here are the Top 9 purchased by women, followed by the percentage registered by women:

1.Volkswagen New Beetle, 56.1%
2.Nissan Rogue, 53.5%
3.Hyundai Tucson, 53.0%

OC Hyundai celebrates Hope on Wheels



CHOC Children's patient Ariana Alonso (9), of Santa Ana, prepares to put her green hand print on a white Hyundai vehicle, which will represent her courageous battle with cancer. Alonso and six other CHOC kids put their prints on the car, which will be taken around the U.S. to share their hope with other children and families. It was one of the many activities at Sunday's American Cancer Society and CHOC Children's Cancer Institute "Courageous Kids Celebration" at Fairview Park, in Costa Mesa.

Seven children who are either battling or have survived cancer put their colorful hand prints on a white Hyundai vehicle during Sunday's American Cancer Society and CHOC Children's Cancer Institute "Courageous Kids Celebration" at Fairview Park, in Costa Mesa. The prints represent the courageous battle with cancer of the kids, and will serve to bring hope to other children and their families as it travels throughout the U.S.
