Nothing aggressive looking about them. I could see as a turn off to some. I think As a teenager I likely would have liked the wings, splitters and stuff that the new cars have. The old me says “ah, a bit much”. Nice all these varieties exist.
I think several of the most recognizable, aesthetically well loved vehicles have a feminine quality. E-Type Jags, all curves and chrome and sex appeal. Similar with 911s, like the early cars, G-body cars with flares, turbos with more flares. There's a reason that folks talk about, especially the turbo flared models, having hips and butts. Even all of the roundness on things like the older Ferraris like the 250 GTs. Lots of feminine attributes to the shapes.

Things like most of the modern Lamborghinis are not remotely feminine, but Porsche has retained that over the years. The GTx models often butch things up a bit.
