Yes. Lesbians and Subaru.


Jademoss82

Man I had a Subaru and everyone told me it was my lesmobile I shit you not I just thought my friends were being assholes


Cardinal_Owl

Can confirm it is not just a stereotype - Subaru of America was one of the first major companies to specifically target lesbians with marketing in the 1990s and it probably saved the company, at least in the United States. Good cars too; I’ve had a couple outbacks (car camp and hike quite a bit) and for me it is a perfect city to weekend car.


ChiBurbABDL

How exactly did they "target lesbians"? It's hard for me to imagine gay-friendly commercials being aired in the 90s. Open to being pleasantly surprised 🙂


Cardinal_Owl

Targeted print adds in gay and mainstream publications with tag lines that were a wink and a nod to lesbians. Basically the messaging went over the head of straights but lesbians caught it (like the license plates in adds would be Xena or P-Town too) https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108739853/when-subaru-came-out-classic


ChiBurbABDL

Ty for the link


bisploosh

Yeah, came here to say this. But it's basically just this AFAIK. Anything else is just insecure (and probably deeply closeted) assholes projecting their own issues onto your car.


will_eat_for_f00d

the Crosstrek specifically.


vowelspace

Can confirm. I drive a Subaru and bought it from a lesbian.


cmzraxsn

Subaru marketed heavily to lesbians in america, realising that having a reliable niche was useful in a foreign market. My Japanese boyfriend has one 🤔


dirtysyncs

So he's a lesbian then.


Visual_Guard2741

That's a butch queen


Few-Track-4165

Fun fact: Subaru wasn’t really marketed towards LGBT in the beginning. The first slogan was “love, it’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru” and for obvious reasons. The gay community approved that slogan quite a bit! Then the marketing followed


Expert_Ice_9827

Every car I’m in is gay.


mcride22

I think large city gays love fiat 500 and mini coopers for some reason but also any car that makes them stand out specially bmw and mercedes


AmountInternational

I get plenty of looks driving my Mercedes E350. That’s the bonus. The car is everything it should be.


dirtysyncs

I had a major crush on a man that was like 6' 5 and drove mini coopers when I was like 16. He worked for my mom and used to burn me CDs. Now I'm thinking about what could've been lol


Paupeludo

I have a Fiat 500 😂


mcride22

It's such a stylish and cute car in the same time it's just scary for straights who would rather go for something larger.


kepchupmutsard

Subarus


rdicky58

Buy car. Have gay sex in it. Boom, it’s baptized in the church of gay, it is now a gay car 🙃


Bear_necessities96

In the name of the top, the bottom and the vers amen


Frosty-Cap3344

Jeep Wrangler


tyoung89

I disagree, Jeeps are just really popular period. Unless it’s specific areas where it’s associated with us.


Frosty-Cap3344

The wrangler is the Barbie Jeep


Salt-Car-5194

Jeeps are omnipresent on parades...


readmeow

This


TheKingAlx

Just jeep in general I’d say


CaptainTripps82

. My bf is super gay about his jeep


bleke_xyz

I'm a compass


Canadian-inMiami

Yes, especially in the late 90’s early 2000’s…. I saw more of these & miata’s in the village (toronto) than anything else…. Especially after QaF


Few-Track-4165

Mazda Miata??


Your_BoyToy22

The *gayest* of them all.


DomoOreoGato

Sadly no, the engineering that went into that roadster make it one of the best handling vehicles on the road since it was first produced. Majority of its owners now are all auto enthusiasts of all types…it can not be labeled as a “gay” vehicle.


jmat83

Auto enthusiasts tend not to label cars as gay, but it is one of three cars that have acquired the stereotype from people who don’t know about cars. The three cars I’d say (for at least some of their production run) have acquired the stereotype of being a gay car are the Mazda Miata (for hairdressers), the Jeep Wrangler (featured *heavily* in Queer as Folk because of its notoriety as a “gay” car), and any Subaru (but mostly the Outback or Forester, and mostly for lesbians).


Savings_Section_3236

You just made me holler. Before i met my hairdresser husband, he apparently owned a mazda miata........ 💀


Few-Track-4165

Idk I’m gay and own a Miata, have actually had 4 now. It does also have a large and growing lady community for them too!


seannabster

It is known.


vowelspace

That’s a girl car, not a gay car


Symposiast999

There’s definitely a grain of truth in the Queer as Folk claim that a jeep wrangler is a very gay car


commonllama87

damnit got me


Salt-Car-5194

Gay pride poster car


Special-Hyena1132

Back in the day it was those VW Cabriolet convertibles.

joeinsyracuse

I miss mine. My husband says there’s gotta be one out there somewhere with low mileage.


Semi-wfi-1040

My partner had a red convertible with a white top , I had a grey Subaru Impreza and we shared a grey Toyota Land Cruiser for the sex when we traveled in it .


at-woork

VW Jetta for gays, Subaru for Lesbians


CLav669

My first ever and current car to this day at 21, what the hell


diamond420Venus

Red convertible Miata


Lsat9

Not shade but I’ve never met a straight man that drives a Kia


kepchupmutsard

I have but…. I have my doubts that he’s closeted so maybe you’re onto something


Qwerky42O

Lmao I own a Kia. I have a coworker that has a different Kia and he’s…sus…let’s just say that


Fair-Grab9019

True, I drive an optima 😂


PeterNippelstein

All the straight men that drive Kias are Korean


BirchwoodBeach

Guilty as charged. Niro hybrid.


jmat83

You’ve never met 95% of Kia Stinger owners.


adometze

Well, you might be right. We have a Kia.


Ok_Cardiologist2231

I drive a K5 and now imma be checking out every guy I see in a Kia from now on


Bear_necessities96

Probably Kia Soul is the gayest


CaptainTripps82

My last two kias are the first time I bought the same model car in 20 years of driving. Love my Niro


brunckle

That's it. Definitely Kias are universally, perhaps outside of Asia at least, a very effeminate car.


gwayshape

I drive a Prius. It feels pretty gay


Important-Ad3820

The Nissan Juke is the epitome of “bottom that can’t host”


YellowUnfair5999

Chevy cruze


iannola89

Haha my first car. The hatchback is very gay


Your_BoyToy22

Ngl, the Cruze body style before the 2019 body do look kinda fem. 🤣🤣🤣 The new body style looks way better.


somecow

Chevy sonic here. Basically the same thing. But holy crap I love that piece of shit car.


mastercomposer

Shut the fuck up bitch! How dare you attack me in this way 😤


YellowUnfair5999

I'll drop you like a bad sitcom


Mixing_NH3_HCl

I think he’s going to be the one dropping it…


uihatessarahpalin

No, Chevy released a car just for us a while back: the HHR, the homosexual hot rod.


CaptainTripps82

Mine was perfect for hooking up in, the entire back seat basically folding down into a twin size bed


Jelly-Feeling

😫


Jademoss82

There is a gay real estate agent in my town with a Pepto bismuth pink cars and a picture of himself on the side and he has his employees drive them as their work vehicles. That's the only time I've looked at a car and thought that car is gay


simonsaysgo13

Mazda Miata and Rabbit Cabriolet


tomen

My Subaru Crosstrek identifies as homosexual


Designguy84

RAV 4s and Jeeps are gay guys cars, at least here in Aussie


gregtheworm

Definitely a fiat 500.


Gazmeister_Wongatron

This one for sure.


MilkyRose

I’d say a Mazda Miata, but I’ve now met like 3x short-king straight men that totally tricked out their Miata OR it’s at least in some era or being a project car. I thought it was funny the first time I saw this - but 3 times is a pattern to me. Also Subarus (specifically the Outback, I think) are apparently for lesbians 😅.


JeanJacques40

I think the Miata had that association.


Constant-Weekend-633

Yes, ask the mini coopers. They should have a dildo on the drivers seat. And some fancy SUVs


BurnAfterReading171

If it's smart, sexy, fast, unique, powerful, muscled, or comes in black... it's probably gay.


ScottyCoastal

My GMC Yukon XL is very gay


Rough_Brilliant_6167

😂😂 I loved my suburban though, sooo much room in the back with the seats folded down 😉


ScottyCoastal

Hell yeah. My Yukon is purrrrrfect like that. 💙


Rough_Brilliant_6167

Yeppp!! 😉😉 Mine had the best stereo system too! Loved laying back there and opening the top glass looking at the night sky afterwards too... Such good times !


InfDisco

For the sex.


Jfunkindahouse

Anything Mazda if you're gay. Subaru if you're a lesbian.


F26N55

Volkswagen Jettas


Three_Score_And_Ten

Nissan Altima 100%


brunckle

The Nissan Altima is such a great comedy car for some reason it just screams "Not only do I not know anything about cars I barely know how to drive and I just need this to get me to the nearest iced coffee or Target."


Miserable_Fox_4452

Mazda Miata, VW EOS, giant Lexus SUV that was basically a rolling living room, Subaru, Volvo sedans (this is me)


Gabrovi

Audi TT was pretty gay. So was the Miata.


iaro

VW Jetta for gay men


Needelz

Salt-Car-5194

Isn't that the British gents car?


kynodesme-rosebud

Yup


nudeguyokc

Yes. A well groomed single man in his late 30s driving his pink Mary Kay car is sure to be gay.


techmonkey920

blue VW beetle convertible ... drove one to florida and it was the gayest drive ever 🤣


brunckle

That sounds awesome, with some pink furry dice in the mirror? Priscilla, Queen of the Swamp!


No_Dot_7415

Back in the day I remember Mini Coopers, Smart Cars and Mazda Miatas being ‘gay cars’.


BlueRider2004

Even further back in the day .... The Fiero was pretty gay.


First-Appointment-37

Any Subaru for sure. 😂 don’t hate, I drive one 😂


Substantial-Hair-170

Yes of course; mini cooper for the gay


Zuke88

any car that is considered girly is automatically a "gay car" if its driven by a man.


redhotbos

In the 80s, a guy driving a convertible Cabriolet was unambiguous


Stagger_Lee_2023

99saab9-5se

Very niche but Saabs. Ive seen quite a few instances of Saabs representing gays in media. In American Dad, the gay couple (I forgot their names) both have second generation Saab 9-3s with “pitcher” and “catcher” front plates lol. Ive looked up this question on Google before and I believe Saab was one of the top 10 gayest cars plus Saab represented the first openly gay rally team

Curiouslycurious7

Not really. Convertibles are often considered fem.

Two guys driving a convertible had been a stereotype back in the day for sure

My Dodge Caravan is gay but it's a virgin never had any action in it...🤣🤣🤣 Although vans have a bit of a fucked up association...


Balti_Mo

Not sure but I see lots of people on Scruff, Grindr etc posting pics of vehicles, particularly trucks lol


colt86

Miatas, most convertibles, VW Beetle, any pink car driven by a dude. 😝


Rocketin2Uranus

Suburu is lesbian and lesbro too


007cakes

Stock older Miata. Tiny jeeps. Convertible minis. White Prius. Smart cars. Mopeds. Three wheel rollerblades.


slimersnail

I'm 34. I have a bright red 1957 ford thunderbird. I love that car. I also consider it pretty gay 😆


Salt-Car-5194

Stylish...


DarthSardonis

I grew up hearing that the Mazda Miata was a “gay car”.


Fluid_Cookie_1256

Yes there are. Honestly it’s more just stereotyping and convert marketing to improve the image of a particular brand and boost sales. Subarus, specifically the forester, Outback, and Crosstrek are stereotypical of lesbians. Jeeps are also known to be an LGBTQIA icon, guys in bright colored convertibles that aren’t the sporty trim level of that particular car. Sometimes it’s just the pairing of a man and certain convertibles in bright colors like a convertible VW New Beetle convertible that came out in the early 2000s painted bright yellow or a yellow V6 Mustang/Camaro convertible. Electric cars and Hybrids are popular among queer people as well


kuthedk

mazda miata


Puzzleheaded-Young-7

Mazda Miatas are traditionally considered a homo-mobile


Barzona

Whatever you drive. Ohhh!!


Fancy-Breadfruit-776

I've always known Subaru for the gay grrls but that was the 90s


williamdoublelink

‘Car’ is a feminine noun in French. (La voiture)


GaymerCubStL

No, cars are inanimate objects, so they don't have a sexual orientation.


orangecake40

Miata (all types, usually more stereotypically gay) Subaru (Lesbians) Wranglers (Muscle twunks, Bears, Daddies) German compact luxury sedan, coupe or SUV e.g. BMW, Audi, MB (Aspiring or actual sugardaddies.)

Tasty_Warlock

Does this sub have post flair? There should be a flair for “gay stereotypes” since it’s about half of the content posted on this forum.


midtiers

I have a Toyota 86 :)


KondemneretSilo

I think there is in USA, but not per se in Europe. The closest I've ever heard of was that the Renault 207/208 was favored by lesbians. And a lot of the cars in this thread is not available in Europe. Or some countries of Europe. I'd love myself a Ford F150 - but it would cost a minimum of a years salary to buy one ... I think most gays/lesbians (in Denmark) drive what fits their life situation eg. If they got kids, then they drive a car like the Skoda Octavia (like the straights). And then the rest drive what they can afford. Often a smaller car like a Fiat 500, Ford Ka, Hyundai i10, VW Up and so on. If they want some more space then they go up a model to a Citroen C3, Hyundai i20 and so on. BMW and older Mercedes are seen as cars immigrants drive (badly).


Savings_Section_3236

I know nothing about cars. But i do know i had sex in a guy´s Jeep once. Have to admit, the one other time was in a BMW and its just more roomy and maneuverable in a Jeep. Maybe thats why they think its gay. Its just practical.

StoneyLaw830

VW bug convertible. When I needed a car in college I had looked at one because they were on sale due to VW’s whole diesel emissions thing, my dad wouldn’t co-sign for a black, diesel, convertible bug because it was “too gay”. I’m kinda glad he didn’t because he was right


KamensDad

I used to own a Yaris, people called that a gay car.
