wow almost all the top models are SUV's / trucks / minivans

I thought for sure it would be stuff like corollas and civics and mid-sized sedans

Wow -- I didn't think there were that many lesbians buying used cars. Seriously, isn't the Suburu Outback the official lesbian vehicle worldwide? Think I'm joking? Think again.

Suburu -- Number One Lesbian Automobile Ever

Hahaha I say the same thing too whenever I see one. LOL.

I didn't know this...

Is Suburu Number One?

Subaru’s wooing of the gay and lesbian audience seems to be working—at least on one level—because it was the overwhelming favorite (chosen by 45 percent of respondents, with Volkswagen and Ford a distant second and third) as the most gay-friendly car company. “We are definitely perceived as gay friendly,” says Dominick Infante, a Subaru spokesman.

Lesbians, by the way, are more likely to buy a car based on environmental factors than are gay men. Gay men say their cars proclaim that they are “successful, sexy and well-off.” Lesbians say their car announces that they are “practical, environmentally conscious and partnered.”

correct me if I'm wrong but i think it said Forrester they only a little different

S2000Patrick

I'm surprised at some models in the top compared to poll results from Consumer Reports. Audi and BMW are among the worst in reliability as well as Jeep. But there are specific models in their lineup that are good, the Wrangler for instance is probably the best thing Jeep builds, the rest should probably be dumped at sea for artificial reef or something.

The Forrester is a butch station wagon so it makes perfect sense

Nice to see Subaru kicking ass!
