GayWheels.com picks Best Cars of 2007
Our friends over at GayWheels.com have summoned the strength to knock out their own Best Cars list for the year that was 2007. Each of the site's four editors chose winners in six categories, which include Best New Car, Best Makeover, Best Date Car, Best Family Car, Best Club Car and Best Car for Me. There wasn't much agreement among the editors on Best New Car, which was awarded to no less than four different cars: the Volvo C30, Audi R8, Audi A5/S5 and Saturn Astra. The only thing on which they could for the most part agree was which car received the best makeover in 2007, with the Cadillac CTS and its sharp-as-an-Armani-suit styling getting the nod from three out of four editors. Of course, the categories of Best Date Car and Best Club Car contain the most interesting choices, with both the Dodge Viper SRT10 and Lincoln Navigator being named as winners, among others. The Viper would be the Brian Kinney car, useful for arriving at the velvet ropes and angering a mob of hopeless club-goers as you cut in line. The Navigator, meanwhile, is what Michael would use to carpool all his buddies to Babylon, where he would then wait in line.

The idea that gay people would be all that interested in the "best family car" seems a little weird to me.

You realize that gay people can have families too, right?

I sense some flamming comments coming on... oh, wait, did I just use a pun or make a statement?
Gay people like cars? Wow... you learn something new every day... (sarcasm). Yes folks, gay people have families, are getting married, and like to drive cars. You would be surprised how many gay auto writers are working and writing for some of the biggest and well respected auto mags. Welcome to 2007 and soon to be 2008.

Actually, the main part of having gaywheels.com is to see which automakers are gay friendly, for example, GM, Ford, Subaru, etc. make strides to offer non-discriminatory employment and benefits to gays. Hyundai and Honda, on the other hand, do not. It's not that the gays need a car site just for them, it's that it brings them news on the companies and shows which are gay friendly. And of course they will have car reviews. Read the mission statement.

Let's see if I can get censored yet another time. I DON'T CARE. Special Rights =! Equal Rights.

'Straightwheels' is yet to be published and the parade yet to be planned. Someone get on this or I'm feeling offended. Incoming!

It's to cater news and info to a specific group of people, just like autoblog is for auto obsessors, like you and I.

When you think about it, Gay men and women (on average) have more deposible income than str8s because they are more likely to be single ..It would make sense that some of them would have an interest in fine automobiles and such...
"So the next time you see that single dude in the BMW M3 next to you at the stoplight"..

Actually its because they are less likely to have kids. DINC (Dual income no kids). There are plenty of gay couples.

That's actually a myth. gay people, on average, have lower incomes than their hetero coworkers in the same level/position. This applies mainly to those who are 'out' to their company, so many prefer to stay in the closet to avoid subconscious discrimination.
I will say though that gay guys do like being more fashionable than straight guys, so them being better dressed can be perceived as making a lot more money when in reality they just spend their disposable income in a more conspicuous way.
Want a gay car? Buy anything German.

best CLUB car? queer as folk references? augh, why did gay wheels have to do that to my people. i would like the autoblog reader to know that there are relatively few (albeit too many) homosexuals who actually relate to any of this.

When GayWheels.com put out their best gay and lesbian cars (top ten for each) I don't think a single car or truck was a Cadillac or a sedan at all for that matter.
And that was only a year ago I think.

wow, the editors picked some very good cars. even more surprising is the Dodge Viper and Lancer Evo is being included in these lists.

Gay guys who like cars are pretty much the same as straight guys who like cars. My own, built vehicle is probably a better performer than most cars on here.
