Probably offensive but definitely amusing... bit surprised to see this sort of article in such a classy looking car mag...

anyway, highlights...
-206CC was the most gay car
-Mini, TT, Z4, Boxster pretty gay
-White transit van... very not gay
-Mondeo... not gay
-boring family cars... asexual!

apologies if anyone finds this offensive :/

Smart Car!

Not only is it "gay" but it's also a cross-dresser

the smart car is turbo-driven isnt it? just replace the standard unit with a T34. should be good for 450bhp. for about 30 seconds before *bang*

Agree with Claire on the Beetle you're positively into daisy chain territory with that one

I don't think of them as gay cars, I always thought of those as chick cars.

In the USA gay people sure drive a lot of Subaru's

Oi, nothing wrong with MX-5s....

Ok they arent massively powerful, but at least a RWD 2 seat cabrio is a big improvement on a hot hatch (ie 106 Gti, Saxo, Corsa etc). Some of the super or turbocharged modded cars are pretty nippy, and the 1.8 isnt exactly sluggish (although again compared to hatches in the same sort of price range).

If I manage to resolve my employment situation quickly I may be looking for an early 90's pop-up headlight model within the next few months to replace my current embarrasing heap of crepe!

I would prefer a MK1 MR2, however decent ones are very hard to find and Ive already tried running a money pit 205 1.9 Gti that cost more over the first 6 months than the damn thing cost to buy...

Until I find my Boxster attempting to mount the Chimaera in the garage I will not believe that its "gay".

They're cars not people. Fer gawds sake.

With or without the roller carrier hairdresser racks on the back?

A friend of mine (female) bought one of these and she is definitely not gay. But then she does have a fcuking awful taste in cars
