I think it has a lot to do with the fact that, from what I understand, most languages with genders (especially Latin, Navis), have decided it's a feminine word for whatever reason. I could be wrong about that.

Besides, could you imagine the crisis of sexuality that would result if all the guys who have sex with cars suddenly started to realise that the cars they fucked were male:
