119% of women shop Volvos? I could make some jokes here, but I won't. I would like to know what 119% of ANY group means.

Male New-Car Shoppers Prefer Luxury Automakers While Females Favor Import Brands, Reports... -- IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

 

[mr.smith]

The percentages refer to the increased liklihood that a woman will buy the brand when compared to male shoppers. So a woman is 119% more likely to buy a Volvo than a man. And a woman is 19% more likely to buy a Kia than a woman. I wouldn't expect Volvo to be the most popular brand with females, didn't really consider it a car that men shouldn't buy. Not surprised to see Kia on the list, but the percentage isn't even that high. And I'm surprised to not see Mini on the list. Definitely thought more men than women would buy those.

Why do people like Fiat? The 500? Real women buy real cars

Around here (south Florida) there are more women driving Infinits.
BTW, Infiniti (especially the FX) are the 2nd most favorite cars of Russian Mafiosi in
Moscow.

My mom's last 3 cars have been Nissans.
