I understand that Jaguar is suffering from its image.... gays resent the stereotype of owning one, and potential straight buyers don't want to look gay.

Same with the Miata, everyone praises the specs and then says they can't drive it because of the image.

(Thankfully, these are both Ford brands....)

Well, every other lesbian drives a Subaru, so maybe it works.

I make it a point to NOT buy ANY products pitched at deragned perverts - gays and lesbians. If it's THAT important to get the business of 1-2% of the population, they surely don't need mine.

Sorry- Ford owns Jag and Mazda, though really Miata belongs to the latter.

You wouldn't say "Hey I just bought a Ford Miata!"

Most of the staff at the NYT is gay so I guess they have to tout this too!

All the news that is unfit to print - look no further than the NYT!

Recall when Homer Simpson's estranged brother allowed him to design a car for the future - a car for "the common man".

Me: I make it a point to NOT buy ANY products pitched at deranged perverts.

"Kind of a sad way to live your life."

Me: No it's quite refreshing KNOWING that I don't endorse PERVERSION and those that want to profit from PERVERSION. If you're gay - go right ahead and support PERVERSION. NOW, that's a SAD LIFE - being "gay"! LOL! They are MISERALE people.

Yep. That's exactly why this article is there. "Oooh..look at me. Look at me! Advertisers are paying attention to us, yea!!" (Handclap)

Mostly shades of pink from pastel to hot.
