Hotshot Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 A somewhat shocking tidbit from Wikipedia: In the television series The L Word, lesbian tennis player Dana Fairbanks is sponsored by Subaru. Indeed, Subaru has gained a reputation as "the lesbian car brand" in the United States, featuring such lesbian icons as Martina Navratilova in one ad and having a car driven by two women with a large dog in the back seat with the license place "XENALVR" in another. In addition, the Subaru Outback and Subaru Legacy were voted numbers 1 and 2, respectively, by Car Talk listeners as "the ultimate gay chick cars of all time". Does anybody find this to be true?

porcupine73 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Dude that is totally wack. I didn't need to know that either! edit: At least the Outback was also in Edmunds top 10 vehicles for towing in '04 or '05, right in with the ranks of the Dodge Ram 3500 dualie. Sure the Hyundai Elantra is on the list too but so what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 In some cases that is totally true when you go to a certain area like: Boulder,Co and see quite a few of them driving around and I am not just making this up cause they usually display things very openly.Or if you are in Alaska and you are in Homer it is nearly the same case.

Moodybluesr Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 So lesbians can appreciate a good car when they see one... so what? Just means they aren't ditzy airheads who buy their cars based on how nice the vanity mirror is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru has been marketing to the "gay community" for well over a decade. They were one of the first major car companies to advertise in gay orientated publications. It's a fact, the Legacy is known as a lesbian car of choice. Of course my Forester runs on high octane testosterone. And the fine chick in the passenger seat wouldn't have it any other way. Word.

subaru chuck Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Who cares what car the lezzies drive, I wonder what they do with the BIG DOG in back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshot Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Now that comment may have been a little overboard. Still, its not exactly a big plus to the ego knowing you are a man driving "the ultimate gay chick car of all time" Edit- there is definately a difference between it being the "lesbian car of choice" and the the other title given to it.

Special Fred Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I remember a lesbian friend of mine telling me that she wanted a Baja once...at the time I commended her for her practicality and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pretty cool, until the hot bi-curious chick you're dating hits on your sister. Then, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the "title", if any guy's sense of self is threatened by this, I guess he could always go buy a Hummer . I think I'll keep my OB and ignore any possible implications .

otis Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I haven't seen the latest list, but there are cars that show up on multiple lists. I think the S-10 was once a top lesbian and straight guy car. At least it's not like the simpsons where Homer buys a a big Canyonaro SUV to bolster his male ego- only to find out he bought the LS or the "chick car" version where the cigg lighter was replaced with a tube of lipstick. So I'll continue to buy Subarus until they decide to substitue the parking brake for a double dilldo holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to tell you this, but its been a known thing for at least ten years... here in the north east we call foresters lesbian cars.

GoldDiggerRoo Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 here in the north east we call foresters lesbian cars Does owning a Forester give one a strong urge to have a mullet? Seriously though, I was thinking about this the other day, and more than half of my subie driving friends are girls/women...... F*#k the Vee Dub, I think Subaru is the true peoples car!
