The Best-Selling Cars Among LGBT Consumers Are…

The Most Trans-Friendly Seatbelt Safety Video That You’re Likely To See This Week
For decades, Americans have tended to lump the transgendered into two categories: transsexuals like Renée Richards and Christine Jorgensen, who’ve undergone sex reassignment surgery, and drag queens like RuPaul and Dame Edna, who wear the clothing of the “opposite” sex to entertain audiences and who may or may not be homosexual.

A cross between Count Dracula’s chariot and Mama’s sedan, the Subaru WRX looks like it should be left in the garage and thrown a raw steak now and then for nourishment.

2014 BMW 328d xDrive Sports Wagon: A Very Sexy Diesel
In the early 1980s, after their Pontiac Phoenix disintegrated, my parents bought an Oldsmobile Cutlass diesel wagon — woodgrain, burnt orange paint and all. It rattled like a Peterbilt, stunk like a truckstop, was anything but sexy, but sparked my affection for both wagons and diesels. I’m weird. While nothing you’d take to the club, it was efficient, perfectly-sized, and practical. Race ahead 30 years through a few trips to the gym and you get something like the BMW 328d xDrive Sports Wagon.
