		<description>Man, I remember the last time I was in San Francisco (what a gay town that is, amirite!?) and the city grabbed my ass!  I hate those gay cities, always coming on to you with their giant leather hats on their skyscrapers and their assless chaps all over the sidewalks...

		<description>Ok, I am currently thinking of getting a 2008 Aero 93 XWD, yet I&#039;m a ladies man &amp; I&#039;m totally in love with the members of the opposite SEX! Thus, I was taken back by this article...  So, allow me to share what a lady friend of mine has to say on this affair, as I concur with her:     &quot;Ok, ok, i know what the research says, but lets face it. although i believe that the yaris is a fun, tiny, get around&#039;er it is by no means a &quot;gay favorite&quot;. it&#039;s a new car, and lots of people are buying them... not to mention that the number one space on the top ten list was probably for sale to the highest bidder - toyota loves it&#039;s gays..
 
i know this list is rigged because for years, there has been one, and only ONE faggolicious car of all time.... ok.... all together now....... the mazda miata (for all you turds who dont know, that&#039;s the MX-5) - drive in any heavily populated &#039;gay&#039; city and there they are, cute little convertibles with a cute guy in a tanktop with glasses, highlights drinking a mocha latte while he zips past you ... etc...you cant say that about the yaris.
 
and i am sure that my lesbians are up in arms because the jeep wrangler didnt make the list. i know ladies, jeep&#039;s been kind of broke since they only serve one demographic, so they couldnt fork over any funds for the number 2 spot. 
 
couple of words on the Saab 93: classy car for a classy person, nothing to do with orientation. i&#039;m sure that whoever wrote the article is unaware that there&#039;s a little magic inside of every Saab, like award winning cup holders, superior electronic engineering, and suspension that would blow your mind.  does not matter what the outside looks like. 
 
i can rant and rave about the camry, but i wont. atleast it looks good in light blue
 
the following is the real list they really wanted to publish. i think you&#039;ll find it refreshig and stereotypically accurate.&quot;
 
&quot;1.Mazda MX-5
2. Jeep Rubicon or Wrangler
3.Audi TT and A3
4. Volkswagen Jetta
5. VW EOS
6. Mercedes SLK
7.BMW z4  (how can we forget this gaytastic jem) 
8. Saab 93  (Sedan and convertible)
9. VW Rabbit
10. Infiniti FX&quot;</description>

		<description>I watch LOGO occasionally because it&#039;s funny (because their programming is spectacularly bad, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it&#039;s aimed at homosexuals, it&#039;s like watching Lifetime with worse acting).  Anyway...wow, that commercial was REALLY SUBTLE. :p</description>

		<description>Jeff  and eggsngrits -

Here&#039;s the youtube link to the Subaru ad: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91_LT2EQOJ8 

The ad aired on LOGO (a gay channel), so - if you don&#039;t watch the channel - it explains why you missed it.  Also, Marina Navratilova was (and may still be) a spokesperson for Subaru, so that also helps explain gay affinty for the brand.</description>

		<description>Jeff:

Subaru didn&#039;t target homosexual car buyers with their national media campaigns as I recall.  Rather, they sponsored events specifically for and/or well-attended by homosexuals.  I believe that they also sponsored some kind of scholarship or grant to encourage homosexual volunteerism.</description>

		<description>I talked to a gay co-worker (who is somewhat interested in cars). His answer was the same he give to anybody when this type of question comes up. Don&#039;t think it applies to everyone in that community just because some people at a magazine think so. And he made a fun comparision.

What if an alian form outer space landed here today, and wanted to know what &quot;humans&quot; think about cars? He/she check the auto magazines. His/her conclusion? 90% love and drive Porsche, BMW and Audi. Now, we all know that is not true. A few journalists or trendsetters do not speak for the whole human race. And the same goes for the LGBT community.</description>

		<description>eggs, that&#039;s eggsactly (ba-dum PSH!) what I think.  The gay people that have made points on this topic so far all seem to like Saabs for the same reasons all the straight people on here do.

I don&#039;t remember seeing the Subaru ads aimed at homosexuals, does anyone have a Youtube link?  I&#039;m curious to see what they said.

On a semi-related note, I don&#039;t remember if it was mentioned on here or not (I don&#039;t think it was) but recently Dodge was in trouble over an ad for the Caliber that were thought to be anti-homosexual.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgqD47AnroQ&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here it is.&lt;/a&gt;  Personally, I just think it&#039;s funny, but I can see how it could easily be taken as anti homosexual.</description>

		<description>Wow, I had no idea that there were that many homosexuals reading Swade&#039;s blog!!! Not that I had given it any thought, really, I just wouldn&#039;t have guessed.

I&#039;ll say what I always say when this topic comes up:  what difference does sexuality make?  We&#039;re talking about CARS.  I suppose that you have a point with the whole no kids aspect of car selection by homosexuals, but I would just consider them as a subset of the &#039;no kids&#039; demographic.

Subaru actively courted homosexual buyers with their marketing recently, so I expected them to be on the list, too.  However, I sincerely hope that they found that sorting CAR buyers by sexuality wasn&#039;t effective.  Again, these are CARS.  Who you chose to spend time with has little bearing on CAR selection.  At least to me.

Where&#039;s Jon in Atlanta?  He should fin this a little interesting.</description>

		<description>Individuality does it for this gay man in my vehicle purchases...

First - 1997 900SET 2 door 
Second - 2002 9-5 Aero SC
Third and present - 1992 900 Turbo &#039;vert
Fourth and present - 2006 9-3 Aero SC

All were/are manuals. There&#039;s just something different about a Saab than the BMW, Merc and Volvo models don&#039;t have -- not quite sure the combination of factors ultimately but it&#039;s the whole package.</description>
