What's the verdict on a guy driving a Mini?

A buddy and I were discussing this a couple months ago and I still can't decide...what's the verdict on a guy driving a Mini Cooper?
A guy driving a new VW Beetle either (a.) is really gay or (b.) has a controlling girlfriend who won't let him drive his own car. But is the Mini in the same class as the Bug? It's definitely not as feminine. People don't point and laugh when they see a guy driving a Mini like they would when a guy driving a Bug hauls by like he's driving something cool.

I still can't decide.
