South Africa’s Wheels24 Names “Gay” Cars

South Africa’s leading car publication, Wheels24, says its readers think the Peugeot 207 Coupe Cabriolet is the gayest car on the market.

2008 Audi TT Roadster

In its online publication, Wheels24 polled its readers to come up with its 2007 “Alternative Cars of the Year.” The Pug took top honors, while the Audi TT Roadster came in second, the MINI Cooper third, and the BMW 3-Series Cabrio and Alfa Romeo Spider rounding out the top five.
Wheels24’s poll wasn’t limited to gay cars, though, It also polled to find out what its readers thought was the “straight” car of the year–and so endemic is corruption in government, they also asked readers to choose the “corrupt” car of the year. The straight car? Audi’s A8, while the corrupt winner was the BMW X5.
