Rabbit Burrows in at #1, Mazda3 Zoom Zooms Seven slots to #3

Nashville, TN – Gaywheels.com, the sole source of information specifically targeted to and about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) car-shoppers, today announced its list of the Top 10 Most-Researched Vehicles during the second quarter of 2008. The Volkswagen Rabbit held the most-researched title for the second consecutive quarter with the VW Eos following up in the #2 spot. The Mazda Mazda3 jumped seven slots to knock the Toyota Yaris out of 3rd most-researched.
“Research has consistently indicated that the LGBT consumer is an early-adopter and a trend setter” said Gaywheels.com founder Joe LaMuraglia. “Our consumers’ behavior supports those attributes. If you look at the history of the Top 10 Most-Researched list, the Gaywheels.com consumer has been researching fuel efficient vehicles long before gas prices reached $4/gallon. The average MPG in the current Top 10 list is 22 city and 30 hwy.”
