Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 19, 2007 — 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 2007. For the fourth straight quarter, the entry-level Toyota Yaris maintained the top position, while for the first time ever, a Nissan product, the Infiniti-branded FX sport-utility vehicle, joined the list.
“After being added to the gay-friendly list late last year, Nissan’s overall ranking as a brand moved up steadily from just outside of the Top 25 to inside the Top 10, while its Infiniti luxury brand saw a similarly dramatic rise,” said Gaywheels.com founder Joe LaMuraglia. “As the first model from either brand on the Top 10 Most-Researched Vehicles list, the appearance of the Infiniti FX clearly shows the advantage of offering equal benefits to all employees when reaching gay consumers.”
Since the inception of this list, the Top 10 Most-Researched Vehicles have always come solely from gay-friendly automakers, delineating the importance to LGBT consumers of a brand’s corporate policies and positions in regards to the gay community

Although information, specifications and pricing on all new car and truck models are available on Gaywheels.com, each vehicle on the Most-Researched list is offered by a gay-friendly brand. Gaywheels.com classifies vehicle manufacturers as gay-friendly or not based on their corporate policies for offering domestic-partner benefits to their employees in the U.S.
“Since the inception of this list, the Top 10 Most-Researched Vehicles have always come solely from gay-friendly automakers, delineating the importance to LGBT consumers of a brand’s corporate policies and positions in regards to the gay community,” added LaMuraglia. “As Gaywheels.com expands its reach across PlanetOut, Inc’s media properties, millions of LGBT consumers will now become aware of which automakers are gay-friendly.”
The Top 10 Most Researched list is based on website statistics gathered from April 1 - June 30, 2007, from Gaywheels.com’s New Car section. Gaywheels.com publishes its Most-Researched list quarterly.
