Ok with a couple of threads relating to the gayness or otherwise of the Mini or the Smartcar, I thought it was time to discuss what are the most gay cars around.
Below are pretty much the gayest 10 cars around from what I know - certainly the most camp gay cars, as plenty of gay men don't have any need to drive something which shouts out they are gay quite so loudly.
Of course plenty of straight guys drive these cars too - either they are very comfortable with their sexuality, it belongs to their wives or girlfriends, or they just don't realise - or are a little bit to Metrosexual for their own good Certainly anyone straight who protests just a little bit too loudly at this list may not be as comfortable as they might have thought
So here is the rundown in no particular order. I should add that I'm looking at this from a more European perspective, so it may be different in some of your countries. No.10 on the list however was officially voted the Gayest car of all time by an international pink panel however.
1. Smartcar - of course. The ultimate gay city car. Remember the essential accessories of a small dog and a whicker basket of shopping.
2. Mini (the new one). Of course its a gay favourite - still a cool great to driive car though.
3. Jeep Wrangler - blame Queer as Folk for this one
4. Audi TT - especially the convertible.
5. Toyota Rav4 - Gay men love cars that look a bit butch
6. Mercedes SLK - definitely one for the more successful gay man.
7. Porsche 911 Convertible - see SLK above
8. BMW 3 series convertible - see SLK above
9. Mazda MX5 - long a pink favourite
And the officially gayest car on sale - as voted by a panel of pink experts is:
The Peugeot 206 CC
Can anyone come up with anything I've missed - except for that hideous pink Nissan Micra convertible as featured on Top Gear on Sunday - no fashion concious gay man would be seen dead in one
Just when I thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel, it was some B*****d with a torch bringing me more work

I would consider the convertible Bug a tad more gayer than the hardtop.
I would add the GTI to this list for the macho gay crowd.

I don't see why the Porsche 911 is on that list. I think that larger 4x4s such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Range Rover tend to be more popular with rich gay men than sleek sports cars. Just my observation.
Around Toronto, there were tons of Ford F-250 (heavy duty) pickup trucks with rainbow stickers on them. Usually dykes driving them though The rich gay chinese boys usually had Audi A4s (bought with daddy's money, of course).

Quoting Cornish (Reply 6): This is a particular gay favourite
I think hatchback = gay.

The moment I saw a picture of the EOS I thought gay:
I don't mean to generalize, but this is my feeling: any front wheel cabrio car is either a girl car or a gay car. Looking for open air, neverminding the flabiness, nor the performance, nor the rawness.
The Megane belongs to that group, and actually leads it.

Quoting Myt332 (Reply 23): You don't have many things going for you. You're German, you drive a Mercedes and you're gay.
Don't forget that I am drug addicted and an alcoholic as well.
Patrick
25 Myt332: Oh I haven't but those aren't bad things.
26 Senorcarnival: The Volkswagen Jetta (Bora in Latin America) and the Jeep Liberty were voted one of top sellers with the gay crowd a couple of years back. I also fail
27 AeroWesty: I'm going to assume that using the word breeder will be acceptable again.
28 IAH777: Add to that list the Mazda MX-6. At one point, while working at a restaurant, half of the light-loafer squad drove MX-6s. I thought it was part of so
30 DeltaGator: The Boxster doesn't even have dual exhaust. How in the world is it ever taken seriously as a sports car? It is the successor to the old 924 which was
31 Comorin: The 911 is not considered a gay car out here. Like the SL ,it's more of a midlife crisis car that aging boomers buy. I am surprised that no one has br
32 Cornish: No no no - you still don't get it. Porsche 911 - an all-time great sports car. Convertible conversions of hardtop cars are weaker structurally than t
35 Cptkrell: I guess we're differentiating/confusing what cars LOOK gay as opposed to what cars gay people prefer? Anyway, some of the pics posted look cute, but g
36 Cornish: Possibly, but the cars I listed at the start really are popular purchases by gay guys - at least in the UK.
38 Cfalk: Nobody has mentioned the pink Micra covertible Top Gear tested last week.
39 LHMARK: The V6 Camaro is the ultimate gay car. My friend Brendan has one and I pick on him all the time.
40 Cornish: I take it you've been doing that SINCE you got rid of the Beetle
41 AeroWesty: So which is it? No gay man would be seen driving one, or the car itself is gay?
42 Cornish: Actually I think the car itself may be gay
43 AeroWesty: Tut, it looks like a sheep's behind. No self-respecting gay man would let himself go that badly.
44 Cfalk: I think it's reserved for your stereotypical flamer. I seriously cannot understand what Nissan were thinking when they put that color in the catalog.
46 AeroWesty: Why on earth would any gay man want to appear as a Mary Kay saleswoman, except in a very bad dream caused by an unfortunate mix of drugs?
47 Cornish: Did they really have a Datsun Fairy ?? Mind you I bet the Nissan Gloria was a big hit with the Drag Queen market
49 AeroWesty: You obviously know zip about the drag queen market, dearie. A large Cadillac convertible is the car of choice. They have good taste too, and wouldn't
50 Cornish: But doesn't a convertible play havoc with their hair ?? Or is it that no normal car has enough headroom for it - a bit like how our Queen has a speci
51 Cornish: Actually some gay friends of mine have just traded in their Renault Megane for a Renault Megane convertible
53 AeroWesty: Another misconception. The convertible gives room for the hair, which is designed to be noticed, so one doesn't drive so fast as to get it mussed. Fo
54 Cornish: And probably works somewhat better with your climate than our somewhat wetter one that could make the wearer look like a drowned poodle.
56 AeroWesty: When have you ever seen a drag queen out in the rain? There's makeup to think about.
57 DeltaDC9: If you remember the Camaro Berlinetta, it was specifically designed for women and when a man drove one, it was obviously a statement. In that vein, w
58 AeroWesty: Jim Rockford drove a Firebird Esprit. Same difference.
59 Cornish: Oh and of course I forgot to mention motorbikes - sportsbikes particularly. There's a HUGE number of gay bikers in the UK
60 Bicoastal: 1. Mazda Miata 2. Jeep Wrangler 3. Chrysler Sebring convertible (when it was in production) 4. Suburu (Ever since Martina Navratilov did their ads, th
61 Cornish: I guess that must be why JGPH1A moved to the South of France then
62 AeroWesty: What on earth does that have to do with anything? The Sebring bears a considerable resemblance to one of Superfly's favorite cars. Is 'fly gay, too?
63 Cornish: It means they are very popular with gay guys just like the cars mentioned above, and make up a large proportion of those bought in the UK. Bought by
64 AirPacific747: this is a gay hairdresser's car: this one is also pretty gay:
65 DeltaGator: That's my rental car this week. Oh crap! I'm gay? I didn't get the memo.
67 AeroWesty: Neither am I, I think this is a hoot. I'm just trying to figure out the difference between a car that's gay (whatever that may be), and cars hets thi
68 Cornish: Well lets look at what I drive: Its a hatchback therefore its gay quota is high - see above. Its an Audi (German and premium brand)therefore its gay
69 DeltaDC9: Rockfords car was an Firebird Esprit with a Pontiac 350 cubic inch engine, 400 turbo transmission, true dual exaust, 160 MPH Speedo, and AC. Sort of,
70 AeroWesty: Well at least it's not a sheep's bottom, I'll give you that.
72 Cornish: Why thank you - I thought so too. Means minimal chance of Kirkie attacking it
73 AeroWesty: I dunno about that. Too much alcohol and those four rings on the grille might look tempting.
74 Cornish: What a horrible image. Good job I live at the opposite end of the country.
75 RedDragon: Fantastic! What a thread to ease me back into Anet! Bit disappointed you forgot the Z3 though, Cornish
76 ScarletHarlot: HEY! Mr. Harlot has a Boxster! He's neither gay nor a bored housewife.
77 AeroWesty: Not to worry, we'll be having a "Gay or EuroTrash?" thread soon enough!
78 ThereAndBack: This thread is really annoying. More straight men probably drive those cars. Gays are the minority so how can a car be labled "gay" just because homo
79 ATAIndy: Ahh, I got it - convertible = gay and coupe = straight -Feister
80 Trav110: I agree... people have to have their associations, though.
81 JBLUA320: Come on.. a Jetta is the true gay car JBLU
82 DeltaGator: As total numbers straight guys probably do outnumber the gay guys driving these cars. But then go look at per capita or per 1000 gay and straight dri
84 Stirling: So what if I'm straight and drive a VW Beetle hardtop? Am I to take it that being a straight male means you are not supposed to be fuel conscious? Fo
85 AeroWesty: I wouldn't do that! I love Rockford. Uh oh, dude, you're going straight to hell. Pack your bags.
86 YOWza: Anything with Cabriolet in the name is pretty gay. Gayest car I ever saw was a barbie pink PT Cruiser with purple vinyl interior. YOWza
87 Cornish: Mmmmm me thinks you are taking a fun thread just a wee bit seriously. If you really can take the fact that a gay guy pokes a bit of fun at a car you
88 RedDragon: The point was more "proper drivers' car" = straight whilst "poncey, dynamically-inferior-for-the-sake-of-looks car" = gay, but hey - your summation w
91 DeltaGator: Ah, the Weinermobile! Gayest car ever though I doubt any gay man would ever be caught in it.
92 Cornish: I see they modelled the lower part of the body on the Jaguar E-Type
93 RedDragon: I know - I couldn't believe it took until reply 64 to appear...! Saw a Z3 1.8i the other day... dear Lord, have they no shame?
94 Cornish: Its the dream car of a gay friend of ours - surprisingly seeing he lusts after a Z3, he's not a hairdresser
95 RedDragon: Please say that dream isn't 1.8-specific?
96 Cornish: Its a relief that the Z3 is a two-seater - at least that way with him and his partner in it there'd be no room for us
97 RedDragon: Ha! As long as he doesn't overcompensate and buy a Z3 M Coupé/shooting brake/ugly dog of a car, and try and squeeze you into the boot for a ride...
98 Cornish: If he does I think you'll know what my answer will be Actually I saw one of them on Sunday in the supermarket car park. Still looks odd.
99 Columba: The Z3 was driven by James Bond therefore it can�t be a gay car.
100 RedDragon: Come on - implausible high drama, the latest expensive toys, an impeccable wardrobe and no wedding ring? All those women are just his cover.
101 Theredbaron: I have 2 cars both considered Gay cars ( I am straight), the VW Beetle RS and a Peugoet 206. and believe it or not both are chick magnets... go figure
102 Flight152: The Z3 was driven by James Bond therefore it can�t be a gay car. Uhh. That was a BMW Z8.
