On the subject of Male Chauvinist Pig Car Salesmen...

Before I settled on my Subaru STI, I tried out a number of alternatives,
including the MazdaSpeed 6. It's a nice enough car, but I was really put
off by the sales guy's comment: "I'm telling you man, it's a real pussy
moistener."

Not all guys who are looking for a car that's a fast ride are looking
for the same features in a woman.

I called his manager about that.
