I get the feeling if Mattel (I think it's Mattel) wanted to push a new line of toy cars, that would be the only option, but it's when they're pushing a particularly girly toy that they feel the need to offer a more masculine option, and just throw in the car because it's easy.

Yeah, probably. Isn't there some toy that's closer to a doll for boys? I think it's Hasbro that makes G.I. Joe, so no dice there.

And in some countries, pink is considered a masculine color. That's what I've heard, anyway. I actually like pink, and I know girls who don't.
