10. Cadillac SRX (tie)
51.18 percent female drivers*
Starting price: $38,390
As a so-called crossover utility vehicle, the SRX blends attributes of cars, SUVs and minivans. It's lower to the ground than traditional SUVs, which makes entry and exit easier, and creates a less imposing stance. With its aggressive styling and practical layout, the SRX's design represents "nurturing power," says Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute. The SRX shares mechanical components with the Cadillac CTS sedan.
