Default Women are buying xb's to advertise being single

Yesterday on the "Click and Clack" radio station here in LA, a woman called in asking what she should buy to let guys know she's single. The convertible beetle and mini cooper were discussed, but C&C's advise was the xb. Said it was the #1 car single women are buying right now.
(Jeez. I thought I was different.)

How about a bumper sticker; "if you can beat me - you can ___ me"

Imagine the possibilities with these little motors.

The Car Talk Guys actually recommended the xA. It was being considered along with the Mini Cooper convertible as small, efficient, non-intimidating cars for single women.

If women are buying xB's to advertise that they're single...then what are men buying them for?
