- sandiegodude, on 10/07/2008, -14/+101So are the windows going to be all blacked out so only the woman's eyes show through?
- MCA2142, on 10/07/2008, -13/+94Why are they away from the kitchen?
- ryan83189, on 10/08/2008, -8/+65Iran, away from the woman driver.
- tnoy, on 10/08/2008, -2/+58If you're driving in circles, you're not parallel parking correctly.
- GordonFree, on 10/08/2008, -2/+50Running parallel parking circles doesn't sound right ;)
- CptGreencoat, on 10/08/2008, -3/+43Where's the oven supposed to fit?
- Leviathan433, on 10/08/2008, -10/+49She is a woman - they don't get geometry either.
- projomni, on 10/07/2008, -9/+44kind of sexist... but i'll take it:)
- whoreable, on 10/08/2008, -2/+36And we want to go to war with these guys?
- Donniehoward08, on 10/08/2008, -6/+40Women are perfectly fine drivers without all these......hang on a sec, my girlfriend just called, she needs help changing the tire
- Fracture98, on 10/07/2008, -1/+29That would be a tangent, not a parallel.
- cyrusuncc, on 10/08/2008, -4/+32to go to the grocery store silly
- AmyVernon, on 10/07/2008, -5/+32with electronic parking aids? FU.
- lnxfi, on 10/08/2008, -7/+32Why are you parking when you should be in the kitchen?
- FlareHeart, on 10/08/2008, -4/+26I am a woman and I find this article and the implications of the vehicle mildly insulting for several reasons:
1) Painted in softer "feminine" colors - Great so now because I am a woman my car has to be pink, thanks. I happen to drive a dark gunmetal silver car thank you very much, and I want nothing to do with girlie colors.
2) Automatic transmission - So women can't drive a manual tranny now? My dark gunmetal silver car also happens to have a manual transmission thank you very much, and I get along great.
3) Entertainment systems for child passengers - So I also MUST have kids since I am a woman, I hate that sexist though. I do not want kids at all and my husband is in complete agreement with me. So therefore no kids and again no need for this vehicle.
4) Parking assistance - To this day I can parallel park better than my husband and he is constantly amazed at my ability for it. Why is it assumed that women cannot park?
5) Decorative pieces in the interior - Great so I get jewelry for my car now? How grossly unnecessary.
I am probably going to get dugg down for this comment, but I felt it had to be said.
Please note that I am not a feminist and I do not hate men in any fashion. I just do not like getting "special treatment" because I do not have dangly genitalia. I find it annoying and unnecessary. I just want to be treated like an individual, with the same rights and features of a male. - commenter01, on 10/08/2008, -2/+23If she's "running parallel parking circles", she's also not in the car.
- waydee, on 10/08/2008, -2/+22Visit Iran sometime... you might be surprised.
- masterspeaks, on 10/07/2008, -11/+31We need this in America...with tasers for chronic cell phone users. On a weekly basis, I barely avoid a wreck with some dumb bitch trying to text or yakking away without paying attention to the road.
- spyd3rweb, on 10/08/2008, -6/+24Well she's a woman what do you expect.
- AFelsinger, on 10/07/2008, -3/+19just kind of?
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -3/+19they put a steering wheel in the kitchen?
- sushi69, on 10/08/2008, -2/+18RTFA: "According to manufactures Iran Khodro, it has been designed following consultation with female car owners and will be made to order when it is launched in conjunction with national womens' day next June."
How is that sexist? They wanted an easier-to-use car and I think it's great that a car company decided to tailor to the growing number of woman drivers. - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -3/+18Exactly, that's why women don't even need a driver's license, there is no road between the bedroom and the kitchen.
- ohnoerino, on 10/07/2008, -18/+33The wheel changing things sounds good. However, I can run parallel parking circles around most men that I know.
- kihadat, on 10/08/2008, -0/+14I'm amazed that an article about a new car design ends with women being stoned to death and girls being raped and murdered with impunity.
- Sporky023, on 10/08/2008, -2/+14I want a car that projects a beautiful woman's form over me if I get pulled over. If I could just tear up and make a cop melt I'd be unstoppable (or at least unticketable).
- Leviathan433, on 10/08/2008, -2/+14Awesome - you can drive in a straight line. Good job buddy.
- stefyourself, on 10/08/2008, -4/+15Dumb bitches and dumb pricks alike, thank you very much.
- stefyourself, on 10/08/2008, -5/+16Awesome! They're helping women drivers! Now if only they could get that whole not-blaming-the-victim-for-rape, female literacy, not-stoning-women-for-showing-their-ankles, not-denying-the-Holocaust and human rights altogether thing down pat...
- smokeydbear, on 10/08/2008, -1/+11It's a good start ... but why no electronic driving aids?
- subterfuge, on 10/08/2008, -0/+9it's been shown that the differences between the way men and women think are decreased in less sexist societies. for example, math test scores between men and women are almost identical in Sweden. so the fact that iranian women need/want a car like this reflects poorly on iranian society.
- DreKor, on 10/08/2008, -2/+11FTA: "It will be more beautiful. Cheerful and attractive colours will be used - for example red."
I'm glad to see the Iranians are branching out. Red. Good job guys. - Neotribal, on 10/08/2008, -1/+9There have been speed limiters on cars for decades ;)
- morcheeba, on 10/08/2008, -2/+10Yes, please. Especially for the SUV that backed in to my car and left me with $1200 of damage.
- SpectralSounds, on 10/08/2008, -0/+8Specifically an "Automatic lane changer. For women who think the passing lane is for doing their makeup, talking on the phone and doing 5 miles an hour under the speed limit."
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -3/+10Real Conversation:
"I think the real question is 'why is she not in the kitchen!"-Male Friend #1
"***** you!" -Female Friend
"That's another thing women are supposed to do" -Male Friend #2
"Shut up!" -Female Friend again
"That's another thing women are supposed to do!" -Me - AboveandBeyond, on 10/08/2008, -0/+7they hate our cars.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -0/+7Women get more tickets than men.
Women, the elderly and adolescents are the top ticket receivers. Cops target the weakest people first. My wife's an analyst for an insurance company in Canada and she told me that.
Except men have more accidents, more DUI's, more dangerous driving violations. So insurance is still higher for them. - ncc74656m, on 10/08/2008, -2/+9lol, the features really are necessary though...
Electronic jack, flat tire warning, parking aids, and a nav system... Wow. It's like they managed to fit every stereotype of the woman driver into a single car. But does it have a system to notify you that you're about to drive off with the gas hose still attached?
http://www.truckblog.com/g/albums/news/unplug.jpg - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6"Do you really think a cop sees who is in the car before deciding to pull it over?"
Of course. Did you ever drive a car? Not exactly rocket science. Windows tend to be transparent. - jmgieseke, on 10/08/2008, -1/+7I don't think it's sexist at all, and I am a 120lb woman that can tear an entire car apart and put it back together... but most people, men included have no clue when it comes to preventative maintenance, changing oil, tires, etc.
The fact that the car is tailored to the growing number of women drivers, show that there is obviously some social-evolution taking place over in the middle east. Kudos for that! - agaiziunas, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6They have. It's called feet.
- copperhead1288, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6My only issue with the original comment is that you said your husband is "constantly amazed" at how well you parallel park. I guess if it was common for women to be badass parallel parkers, men wouldn't be amazed of such instances. I'm a good (female) driver, but I can't parallel park for crap. But, then again, I've only had to do it about three times in my life, so there you go. (And I always have to be the driver to start with.)
- leazarus, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6Sooo...... Why is she driving you around?
- lnxfi, on 10/08/2008, -2/+8My fiance scares this ***** out of me when she drives. We've flown over curbs at 40mph because she just didn't see them. When we're on the highway, I hold on for dear life and wonder why we're still doing 70mph and everyone else has their brake lights on.
They need to make one for her style of 'driving'. - Narcism, on 10/08/2008, -1/+7hey there, i noticed you're female and on a computer. it just so happens I'm male.
- flashingcurser, on 10/08/2008, -0/+5Is it a 5 window?
Here in Montana, women are expected to be able to drive anything in the driveway. Goes true for men, though I suppose that's a given. A lot of women own trucks here, no one pays much attention. Some things seem more sexist on the coasts. - doctechnical, on 10/08/2008, -0/+5I remember I was six or seven when my mom finally decided she needed a driver's license, and part of the test (back then) was parallel parking. Mom would practice parking our Dodge Cornet (which back then was considered "mid-size", today you'd call it frickin' huge). Dad would be telling her what to do from the passenger seat while I was in the back.
That's how I learned all the bad words I now know. - Dubbsacc, on 10/08/2008, -1/+6You should probably read the article.
Especially the bottom. -
