MotherProof.com’s Top 3 Cars for Cougars
Nov 05 2009 by Kristin Varela
All right ladies, you know you do it. Judging a man by his car has practically been a right of passage into womanhood since the Model T. But what’s good for the gander is good for the goose, so to speak. The popularity of shows like “Sex and the City,” “Desperate Housewives” and Courtney Cox’s new “Cougar Town” highlight an entire group of mature, stylish, successful, sexy road-sisters who are not only using their newest pair of stilettos to snag testosterone-filled eyeballs, but they’re using their cars as man-magnets, too. Can an observant cougar pick the right ride to snare her prey?
At MotherProof.com we know women — moms and cougars alike — have unique automotive needs, tastes and driving styles. In that vein, here are MotherProof.com’s top three cougar-worthy cars.
3) 2010 Porsche Panamera: Truly the coolest Porsche we’ve seen. This four-seater combines the legendary Porsche reputation for quality with great looks and a driving style even the most finicky Cougar-thusiast will appreciate. We liked the opportunity to select multiple sport modes as well as the exhaust amplifier button. If we want to be seen, why not be heard, too? The Panamera’s fabulous second row keeps things practical for the days when cougarlicious mommies are lugging teens around town, shuttling clients, taking fellow cougars out for pre-weekend primping mani/pedis, or perhaps they’re doing whatever a true cougar does in the roomy backseat of an unbelievably sexy car! Meow!
2) 2010 BMW Z4: This roadster makes anyone look and feel sexy driving it! Bolstered seats and racy road-feel cater to the most assertive class of Cougars. You know, one way or another, she’s gonna gitcha, gitcha, gitcha, gitcha. The convertible hard-top is what really sold us on this car as a man-magnet. Can any guy resist a woman in a freakishly hot convertible coupe, driving aggressively yet maintaining total control while her lovely locks blow freely in the open air? Motherly advice: Be careful, gals, if those locks are of the detachable variety!
1) 2010 Jaguar XF: Here kitty, kitty! This fanciful feline may be the purrrrfect fit for the queen of all cougars. Completely new styling and tons of luxurious features will appeal to even the most expert couture lovers. We liked the curvy exterior, the plush quality of the interior and the fact that the XF didn’t just meet our day-to-day needs but could just as easily cater to the Chief Executive Cougar in all of us. When our own Chief Mama Kristin drove this little gem, the hot, young valets flocked to the car… or was it her?
Whichever you choose, any of these are sure to turn heads and amp up your, “I’ve-still-got-it!” quotient.

How about an Aston Martin Rapide? Not that these aren’t all fantastic (that Z4 does cause me to linger….), but if we’re going into fantasy land, let’s do it right.
Otherwise I throw my vote in for a Jag, but the XFR variant please =).
oh and why not?! Being seen and heard is like calling all attention that you want. But I think being smelled is not a good thing. Might as well improve the exhaust pipe and the other performance parts so you won’t get “smelled”, too.
I love this article. It’s just what I needed to read as I compared prices on luxury crossovers and SUVs. I may change my search now!!
