Rejoice! They're Making Cars JUST for Women

The makers of Mii missed the boat

Rejoice, ladies! Your lives are about to be made far easier, thanks to our good friends at Cosmopolitan Magazine and Spanish carmaker SEAT.

“How could life possibly be any easier, now that we have fantastic pens that fit our delicate hands?” you ask. Fair question.

The two companies have paired up to design the SEAT Mii by Cosmopolitan, a car that fits all the unique needs a woman has when she owns a car. For instance, if she wants to wear eyeliner, but can’t remember how to apply it in an aesthetically pleasing manner, she can just look at her car’s headlights! They are shaped just like a woman’s lined eyes, so that she’ll never need to watch another YouTube video tutorial. It will also warn the men in cars around her to be more forgiving of her mistakes when she drives. After all, she is just a woman.

Indeed, it seems as though the car’s key features are its looks, something which shouldn’t be that surprising, considering the magazine that helped design it. Apparently, according to Cosmopolitan and SEAT, a woman’s car is just another accessory. Her key accessory, actually. 

Wow, they really have us gals pegged, don’t they? I guess that explains why it debuted at London’s FashFest this week. I can’t even say that the car was the most enjoyable part of the debut for me, though. The best part was the fact that a MAN had to drive the car that’s supposedly designed just for women out onto the catwalk. I mean, thank goodness! He was probably giving her instructions on how to parallel park, because COME ON, ladies. We all know it’s pretty much impossible unless you’re a man.

There’s something pretty major I think Cosmo and SEAT have missed the boat on in their quest to design a car with fashion-conscious ladies who want to live their best life: those women seriously do not a give sh*t about their cars.

Have you ever seen a photo comparison of what the inside of a man’s car looks like and a woman’s car looks like? 

For most women, a car is there to take you from A to B. The gals who love Cosmo, who want the latest Coach purse and the latest Kate Spade dress? They are spending their hard-earned money on those things.

No, really. They have 72 shades of lipstick, and 17 types of mascara, and probably 4 different flat irons, and maybe all of them are stored in their car, but whether said car has jewelled wheels or not is actually not going to have those ladies running to the nearest SEAT car dealership.

Maybe the fact that there are finally girl colours available for a car will be enough to sway women to buy the Mii, though. After all, “Candy White” (by the way, unless you’re referring to Mentos, here, what candies are white?) just screams Modern Girl, don't you think? Okay, not so much.

There's a few other girly touches that they should have added to the Mii that I can only hope they forgot to mention during the press release. These would include an extra-slim steering wheel, so women can finally grip it with their delicate hands, and bonus sensible flats to change into while driving, so you don’t have to wear those pesky Manolos.

Oh, and perhaps there should be some instructions in the glove box on how to give a blow job that’ll blow your man’s mind.
