Sexist? Sure. Funny? Oh, hell, yes!

The vehicle is superfluous.

I've said this for years about the way different nationalities engineer cars. Let's say you have two parts that move against each other.

Americans: Make one part of very good steel, the other of inferior (cheap) steel, but make it easy to replace, to every 25K miles you have a $600 repair.

Japanese: Make both parts of very good steel, so they last 100K miles but then you have a $3,500 repair.

German: Same function is performed with 17 parts, in a mix of steel, plastic, titanium and unobtainium, none of which are available separately.

British: The parts will never wear out because the car won't start when it's raining.

Italian: Screw it, paint the car red and put a beautiful woman in the passenger seat.

Fiat Uno. Wife used to have one but I'll be damned if I show her this video.
I like breathing.

My wife is 2nd generation Italian and I won't try that with her.

There is a common myth that the Germans are the world's premier engineers.

I have worked for a German technology company for over 32 years. Trust me. It is indeed a myth.
