She asks to drive the Beetle ALL the time, I think shes getting really sick of me telleing her "watch out for the parking blocks!!"
That is exactly what I do! I mostly see ladies driving NB's, but I do see men driving them too. Around here, I would say it is about a 65/35 ratio with the ladies dominating that number. Personally I think that VW has steered the design and colors towards lady driver's as the years have gone by. I think the earlier versions are squattier (probably not a real word) and designed more towards male drivers. I agree with Al and Scott in that the way a NB owner makes their car their own, usually will tell you which gender drives the car.
