[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not that this matters, but I'm tired of the lesbian Subaru thing. Subarus are ubiquitous. They're driven by moms and dads, everyone in Colorado, anyone who wants to feel outdoorsy, and apparently lesbians.

I mean, the whole thread is stupid, obviously, but for some reason I find that one particularly grating. I think it's because I picture the same poster making the comment every time she sees the word Subaru. [/quote]

Except it's actually quite true.  I drive a Subaru (married with kids) but I am actually more of fan since reading this.  They were the first to market to lesbians and it was a very conscious choice:

It honestly is a fairly true stereotype on the east coast. It's a little different in, say, Portland, OR where they are also super-popular with the 30 year old male programmer who likes the outdoors. Colorado may be more like Portland than it is like the east coast.[/quote]

Tons of Subaru Outbacks where I live. I thought they were hippie mom cars. Lesbian is a step up and makes me feel cooler! I take that as a compliment.[/quote]
