Following Mini with the women were Kia Motors Corp (47 percent) and Honda Motors Co Ltd (46 percent) branded vehicles, according to the study. Last year, General Motors Cos Saturn and Kia tied at 45.2 percent, followed by Mini at 45 percent. There were 15 brands with more than 40 percent female buyers, TrueCar said. Maserati (84 percent), Porsche (80 percent) and General Motors GMC (74 percent) followed Ferrari for the highest percentage of male buyers, according to the study. The top-selling model for women, with a minimum of 1,000 retail sales, was Volkswagen AGs New Beetle at 61 percent, while for men it was the Porsche 911 at 88 percent, TrueCar said.

Stojakovic does the right thing, pump fakes and drives, but Miller has now come over to cover for him. The result is a desperate pass to Terry who has to fling up an off-balance contested 3-pointer at the buzzer. Turnover.
