SEAT launches a car for women

Sometimes we all need to be freed from the shackles of political correctness for a little lighthearted fun at the expense of the little ladies

Isn't that right, you pretty little things...

Same as Latrine's maybe, divide and conquer?

Who said there was an endgame? Recidivism is lovely to watch in action from a distance.

I can see these being abandoned all over the country as soon as they run out of fuel.

If your male and try to use it... Does the car complain of having a headache and not do anything?

Dunno who you're calling pretty. Or little come to that...

Does it warn you when approaching a ticket barrier and align your car automatically to be close enough to it so you don't need to open the door to reach the machine? Would have come in handy for all the Dorises holding me up every time I go to the hospital!

Maybe it was to see who had any sensible comments to make?

Have you misread this? Are there just plenty of seats for women at The Valley. Mind you, there are plenty of spare seats for men as well at the moment. Maybe, it means there are plenty of seats in the loos at the moment for women.

To be boringly sensible for a minute: extra long pedals, angled differently, to allow for the fact that women on average have shorter legs. That way they don't have to have the seat so close to the steering wheel, reducing the risk of injury by the airbag in case of a crash. In a similar vein, greater adjustability of seatbelt positioning, so it actually goes over their shoulder rather than across their neck.

TVR (yes really) overcame that problem by having an entirely movable pedal box. Simple yet effective. The snag, as with your suggestion, was that different size people couldn't comfortably drive the car unless they had a handy socket set to change the setting.
