gayest car.........I don't mean to make fun cause I know the sky is pretty much the exact car....and I know I will have some 2,000 written post guy comments about this....how we are a family but.....I saw this article in the sol forum and thought I would share it........it actually made me feel good cause someone offered a question "if the sky came out first would you have gotten that".......needless to say 95 percent said hell no and started bashing the sky......from the smiling front......to the brand........to the too busy interior........
NOW LET ME REPEAT I AM NOT BASHING THE SOLSTICE JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS KINDA A FUNNY THREAD....EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUR SISTER CAR

The 10 gayest cars article doesn't even mention the Solstice. The person who linked to it from Autoblog just mentioned that the Miata was curiously missing and linked to a positive gay review of the Solstice.
That review was basically a tongue in cheek look at the Solstice from a stereotypically gay (drag queen) perspective. Stereotyping is bad, but I know a lot of people who look at things in that exact same way. As far as I'm concerned, that review was spot-on.
For the record, they're not really Sky bashing much in the second thread you mentioned. Keep in mind that the Sol folks have an obvoius preference that they've expressed in their decision of what car to buy. So someone thinks the Sky's interior is too busy? I think the Solstice's is too blah and boring. It's what made me stick with my decision to wait for a Sky. The brand? I had the same concerns 3 years ago when I bought my first Saturn. I also live too close to NJ to have a history of positive feelings about Pontiac. Just saying so isn't really bashing, just individual expression of taste.
1994SC2, your post was hilarious, but the point of the site is to encourage members of the GLBT community to put their money where their mouths (ahem) are and support companies that offer their gay employees equal respect and support. The gay friendly status is determined by hard facts such as employee benefits, discrimination policies, and community support. It's immportant because in a lot of places, people can be fired specifically for being thought to be gay. To take it down to the dealer level would remove the objectivity and be much less effective beacuse of the influences of people's opinions. By the way, if Peter pulls through, I hope you two enjoy the Crossfire together for a long time. (Couldn't resist!:lol
