That's actually a very good oberservation, and it is definitely at odds with the preference for masculine looking (lines that are described as "muscular") and masculine named cars in the U.S.
Although... weirdly, I refer to my car occasionally as "Zed" and "he" rather than "she". Didn't do that with my (awfully pretty and girly) Celica GT-S
