South African website Wheels 24 has spent three weeks running a poll, determining which car will take home the title of "Alternative Car of the Year." Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Alongside that poll were two others, determining which is the "straightest" car, as well as which car has the "sexiest rear-end." Guess which of the cars above was voted the straightest and the gayest, and then see if your fave car made the cut:
Gay car votes
1. Peugeot 207 (pictured above): 7155
2. BMW 3 Series Coupe: 3378
3. Jaguar XK: 2571

5. Alfa Romeo 159: 1293

2. Toyota Fortuner: 2629
3. Dodge Caliber: 1808

I say the poll is BS. A VW car is considered "straight"?!
We're talking about VW, right? The same company that has a car with a place to put a flower.
The only people who drive Volkswagens are people with boyfriends.
^ x2
I'm confused at how the Jetta got on the straight list and the BMW 3 series got on the gay list, the latter by such a resounding amount. Yes, it's "cute" but at least it packs a punch and lots of cute girls drive them. The Jetta, on the other hand, is ugly and gutless.
Gay: Volkswagen Passat, Nissan Frontier, Mazda Miata
Straightest: Acura TL, Ford F150, Cadillac STS
Best Rear: Acura TL, Honda Civic, Toyota Prius
Audi S8 or BMW 7-Series (Bangle butt FTW) for best ass.
All wrong.
Gayest car: Beetle convertible http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2003/08/26/167518.1-lg....
Straightest "car": Hummer H1 http://www.h1source.com/mountaintop_800x600.jpg
South Africans don't know shit about shit.
Last time I drive through West Hollywood I saw more A4s than I thought were imported to the U.S. I'd say the A4 belongs on the other list

undoubtedly the most retarded poll ever conducted. Which cars are gayest I think? none. Which cars are straightest? none. Which have the best ass.. I'd give that to the IS250. Gayest website: Wheels 24. Seriously, I wouldn't give a frak what another person thinks about whether or not my car were gay or straight.
Best rear: Audi TT, 8C Competizione, Z4 Coupe (concur), Audi A8
Gay: 5 Door Rabbit, SLK
Straight: Shelby GT500, RS4 (concur), Ford GT
G35 has a nice ass.
And I agree that VW is dedinitely NOT straight.
liveallnight: the A4 and RS4 have very different personalities
Nice stereotyping...
The winner of gayest car, by a HUGE margin:
Toyota Prius
You'll never see any self-respecting red-blooded man caught in one of those.
Of course, the VW bug is bad too.
VW is all over the gay, and I think Scion does a good job too, based on the owners I know.
I think the straightest car is an F150, they're pretty much as good as you can get.
I'll bet that everyone of the faggots that dogged on the Jessica Simpson post drives one of the cars in the "gayest" catagory...
People who care about whether cars are gay or not are gay.
It's my first time logging in so I don't know if I'll make the cut but this comment has to be at least as amusing as the guy who said "south africans don't know shit about shit." That was hilarious.
...and there's cars that are WAY more straight than those listed. That's like a list of the "COOLEST STRAIGHT CARS".
The Crown Victoria is, hands down, the straightest car on the planet, followed closely by ANYTHING from Buick or Oldsmobile.
And where is the Toyota RAV4 or Pontiac Solstice? Those are both easily "gay" cars, yet nowhere to be seen.
If you have to purchase a type of vehicle to prove, substantiate or increase your maleness, then buddy you are gay. SUPER GAY. Your either gay or not. You can't catch it or buy into it. So all this talk about whether a car is gay or not is really just about yourself. Grab a mirror, look deep into it and ask yourself "Am I gay?". Then get a life and stop projecting.
So, Cory, basically you're saying everything alternative, smart and hip is gay, while everything oversized, gas guzzling and non-evolving to be straight?
Wow. What a progressive attitude.
Oh, wait, my gay cop cousin drives an F150. Hope that doesn't shake your foundation of what homosexual is too much.
ditto on the flower holder comment, because vw bundles that ONLY WITH THE BEETLE, the entire brand must be gay, the jetta and t-reg obviously must have as much gay cache as the beetle... erm... right.
You're... you're right, IceDreamer...
I did grab that mirror...
...the rear view mirror on my large, white Ford F-150 longbed, and determined, yes... I too am gay...
Thank you for that moment of sobering introspection.
I saw the rs4 on the front page and was thinking...Gay? How the hell is an rs4 Gay!?
To Mr. Renegade Anime Blogger Cory (click on the link): the Prius and the Bug are gay but anime isn't? I guess not if you're a "renegade" anime blogger or maybe you're overcompensating for something.
No mention of a Viper or Z06 ? F-150 = 90 pound weakling >> SRT-10 ! Of course it was mostly all eurotrash rides.
Just trying to help.
there are roads in South Africa????
Must be a slow news day.
mabronny, 'straight' doesn't mean 'male'.
even if you believe that things such as flowers are strictly feminine, remember than a few female straight persons may eventually maybe happen to drive cars, and even -ouch!- own them sometimes …
Everybody know a the Real Man Truck is the Dodge Ram. the F in F150 stands for Fag and the 150 is the grade like in Jamaican Rum 150 proof.

All cars are gay. Ride a bike!
What would be a bisexual car then?
Gayest cars: any sort of pickup
Straight cars: any sort of pickup
well since when is a f150 a car I thought it was a truck, and what's with all the vw hate you yall must have little man going on or some shit...
straightest car by a long shot:
would be either Kit(nightrider)
a delorean (including flux capacitor)
or one of the bad ass electric cars they posted on giz
gayest would be the:
mazda miata
Geo metro
MINI is pretty gay.. For nice derrier, I like the new MDX. Who the f*ck picked the AUDI for the straightest car.. that front looks uber gay.. I would go with the new MDX for the straightest car.. the grill looks something out of a MAD-MAX movie
yeah, this poll is a load. there is nothing gay about any 3 Series, and there is nothing straight about a Jetta. my votes:
gayest car: subaru forrester. something about it just screams androgyny.
straightest car: h3. big, boxy, wasteful, and totally irresponsible. over-compensatory masculinity at its finest.
best ass: 7-Series. just plain sexy.
Gayest car: BMW M-Coupe, which is also considered to be the real life version of the Ace and Gary penismobile.
I think most people that drive Porsche take it up the butt as well. Seriously, they had to install very light-weight doors at the dealership to accommodate the limp wrist-ed.
If I like a car's ass, am I gay? This makes no sense. I think masculine --> feminine would be more logical, because some girls in a white golf convertable are straight, but a guy in that car is gay.
Most Lesbian Car: Subaru Forester
The Bastard
Most Lesbian Car: Subaru Forester
Rich Gay Car: Porsche Boxster
Poor Gay Car: VW Beetle Convertible
Tom and Ray already did this. I like their list better.
Gay: Aztek
Best Ass: New Challenger mmm....
Corydorf, I drive a scion. the box, actually. Is it gay? no. am I gay? no.
Since when does a car exhibit a sexual preferance?
Only an idiot would quantify his, or someone else's sexual disposition by what they drive. Talk about your ignorant, insecure people.
On a side note...whoever voted that the Jaguar was a gay car needs to be disemboweled with a wooden cooking spoon.
So this explains why I'm being tail-gated all the time..... they think my car (bright red Toyota Vitz, 2000 vintage) looks gay, so I must like taking it up the ass?
Most Metrosexual car: VW GTI (VW is almost completely gay but the power/handling of the GTI pushes into the 'not-so-gay' category).
Most 'I want ppl to think I'm super cool': Any newer Mazda, suddenly they all become masters of the rotary engine? Yes, RX-8 is a kick ass car, but you sir are still a jackass.
A car is a fuckin' car is a fuckin' car. I'm a car enthusiast, but I'm starting to question why we spend so much more money on one car from another just to sit in it and from point A to B and watch it depreciate faster than a sack of mice on a rainy day.

You said it.. not us.. hahah
I think a better poll would be a comparison a mans endowment with the type of car he drives... H1 = compensating for something... Me I drive a cute little Gay BMW X3...
I am confused by this (I know - doesn't take much). Is the goal to identify cars that look 'gay', or the goal to identify cars owned by humans who actually are? They would create two entirely different lists. For example, the SmartCar LOOKS gay, however the Miata is clearly the choice of those with that alternative lifestyle.
Straight/gay whatabout metro/retro sexual?
Anyone else think the Prowler = transgendered?
