Subaru was even savvy enough to hire Martina Navratilova as a spokesperson some years back. They know their market. My girlfriend HATES to drive my Outback for that reason. I threatened to put a rainbow bumper sticker on it... | ||

And what do heterosexuals drive? | ||

4 wheel drives...jacked up with perma mud on them...a spitoon on the seat, and NRA stickers on the rear window...jeeps are fine as long as they are muddy and have a few dents and scrapes and have gnarly mud tires. | ||

Is the Cube practical? Sure - lots of space in a small package, cheap, small, effecient engine. But the styling looks something out of a 60's futuristic sci-fi low-budget TV series. This car will sell hot in the States for a little bit because it's so 'unique' looking and people will want to have something different. After that, most everyone else will realize that 'unique' translates to 'butt-f***ing ugly' when this car is considered, and sales will fall back to what any other econo box will be. Scions were the hottest thing going - now, it's a take it or leave it thing. Mini Coopers were biggest thing for a while - now, eh - you see a dozen of them on the way home from work. Honda Element, VW New Beetle... the same deal. If I had a gun to my head and HAD to pick a car in this category based on how it looked (and let's face it, the kind of person buying a car like this doesn't care about performance or even comfort much for that matter, it's all about "which one is cuter"), it would be the Kia Soul, or one of the Scion box things. I don't think this is the future of cars, not by a long shot. Stuff like this has been tried in the past and guess what - small and mid-sized sedans still sell the best, just like they have for the past... well, since they started making cars. | ||

You're forgetting the niche of heterosexual men that feel that proving their heterosexuality is only accomplished by owning a F250+/2500+ that has AT LEAST 8" lift and AT LEAST 35" tires that spews thick black smoke from the dual tractor trailer style 6" exhaust pipes sticking up from the front of the bed...and with all that the truck has not a scratch and has never seen mud, always has a mirror finish on all the chrome accessories, and is waxed daily. But that's only if you're really really insecure about your heterosexuality ... and feel like you have something to prove about your "size"... | ||

There's one parked in the lot where I work, it's ugly alright but I still don't think it can dethrone the Aztek. The Axtec was dethroned by the Honda Element back in 03 when the Element came out. I owned one..... it did everything very very well. No waiting list for a cube around here. The Nissan dealer in town here has several of them. | ||

Well I guess I'm gay then, but not that gay because I drive a standard? Am I correct? But back up a couple of notches because of my profile pic? Just want to know where on the gay meter I rank.  | ||
| Buellgrrrl |
Ya, but if I buy a jacked up 4 by 4 decorated with the mud and NRA stickers and all, people will just assume that I'm an FTM that doesn't pass very well... | ||

Man I thought they were hideous in commercials but I finally saw a Cube at Best Buy the other day.  That is hands down the most hideous thing I've ever seen. I like the Scion XB, especially the newer ones, and the Kia Soul, but the Cube just looks like a study in asymmetrical hideousness. And there's something about the bumper/tail lights that is just FUGLY! Also I really like those rainbows.  | ||

Speaking of hetero vehicular overcompensation If you have plastic or chrome testicles hanging from the trailer hitch on your truck I ••••••• HATE YOU! I want to take a baseball bat to your empty mullet-covered redneck skull. | ||

Damnut, yes. You are gay. But from what I gather from the posts here....you are a lesbian, so you are fine. I guess drive a Lincoln Navigator to make up for the lack of uh, er, testosterone....But it isn't 4 wheel drive, so maybe that saves me. I also drive a Vette, maybe for the same reason? Or as I hear in the news as of last week, I am a middle aged man going through my mid-life crises. Ha Ha | ||
| Crackhead |
Lincoln navigator = over priced ford bronco | ||
| Damnut |
Well that sucks! Now I have to tell the wife and kid that Daddy's gay.   | ||

I'd drive the Kia Soul. Actually looking to get a Mini some day. Convertible even. Then again, my first car was a VW Beetle. A particular car doesn't make one "gay", but it can sure complete the package. I'm afraid I'd be the loneliest gay man in the world. I don't even qualify for "bear" status. | ||
| Fast1075 |
Come on Pammy...we know you drive the Vette so you can have ultra rapid parts delivery to take good care of your customers  Plus...it's cool  | ||

Gay is a label thats fun to use despite what token wanda sykes says but sooner or later you'll find out Bud down the street is gay. Bud changes his own oil and does brake jobs on his vehicles and spends his extra money on ammo and beer. Buds fun to hang out with when your wife lets you out of the house. Ive met effeminate gays and Ive met gays that rival Chuck Norris or Charlton Heston. My point is metrosexual is more accurate and even gayer than gay itself  Buts lets not gay up this thread up too much. | ||

I just bought a Subie...not a SUV type though. 300 HP of black badness. I am just enjoying the WRX. | ||

Damnut, now I have a craving for skittles. Cube is ugly, aztek is still the 'queen of ugly.' Not_Purple, calm down man. It's not wise to publish hatred or threats of violence on the web. These things have a way of showing up at trial. My jeep was almost rear-ended by an escalade, does that make it gay? | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
sorry, but those things are the visual equivalent of nails-on-a-chalkboard to me. | ||

My jeep was almost rear-ended by an escalade, does that make it gay? This is tough one to call. I've been told by those who know that in that kind of relationship, the more well-endowed member pitches while the lesser of the two catches. However, this is in conflict with the assumption that those who drive a vehicle like an Escalade are trying to compensate for a less-than-impressive member. The only possible conclusion is that you have a really small penis. | ||
