A new poll posted on Forbes.com details that there are vast differences in why men and women buy cars.

In general terms, women buy new cars for more logical reasons — safety, comfort, practicality and value. Men buying new cars, however, often purchase vehicles for much different reasons, most notably, power, performance and exclusivity.

As such, the car purchased by the highest percentage of women in the United States is the Honda Fit. More than 80 percent of Fit buyers are women. The vehicle with the highest percentage of men buyers (93 percent) is the Chevrolet Silverado (pick-up truck).
