We went to auto shows, on road trips and ate cheese steaks inside an all new Audi R8 (that last part may be a white lie). Here’s our best of the best in 2010:

Automopedia’s Earth Day Green Car Review

What’s the latest trend in Green Car Technology? For Earth Day 2010, we’re taking a look at what’s new and improved in the world of eco-friendly tech.

The LBGT (don’t forget those who identify as Queer!) like any other group have a love for certain car makes & models. Our pals over at Gaywheels.com have continually hunted down the gay-friendly (and not-so-much) auto makers and specific vehicles loved by both gay men and lesbians across America. And in honor of National Coming Out Day (Which was yesterday, Oct. 11th) we are taking a look at the 10 Most Gay-Friendly cars, at least as far as 2009 is concerned.

First off – here’s a quick overview of Gaywheel’s findings on what Gays and Lesbians feel are the most pro-queer makes:

Now here’s a look at the top researched cars by LGBT consumers so far in 2009:

1. VW Rabbit

Volkswagen stole the top five with three sporty vehicles this year, the Rabbit/Golf, Eos and Jetta, all of which tend to be a staple of the Queer-friendly car shopping list. Whether you have two or four doors VW’s little wonder is a continuous hit.

2. Audi R8

Audi R8 has crept up the list for gay buyers, and with the need for horse power and fuel economy Audi can’t be beat.

3. VW Eos

VW’s new Cabriolet is a two-door drop top that has just as much power under the hood as a Rabbit.

4. VW Jetta

Jetta also pops up with LGBT consumers – the latest model rounds off VW’s attack on the top five results for 2009.

5. Volvo C30

Volvo’s small three-door hatchback is one strange vehicle from the auto maker. But it’s original styling and sporty construction have been a hit in recently automotive buyer research.

6. Mercedes-Benz E-Class

E-Class has come under some pressure with their apparent misleading advertisements in the UK – though you can’t doubt the love for their 2009 model.

7. Saab 9-3

Saab and the 9-3 Aero, new for 2009, has struck interest in car buyers and makes it’s first hit on the list for 2009.

8. Nissan Quest

Nissan’s minivan is the largest vehicle vehicle to make it onto this charts, and why not – it’s a fast ride with room for an extended family. It’s also Nissan’s only model on the list.

9. Toyota Yaris

Since its induction Yaris has been a popular make researched by the gay community. In 2009, it remains in the top top most researched and most purchased.

10. Mazda MAZDA3

Mazda always gets at least one nod in the top searches for LGBTQ car research – this year it finishes off our top ten with the MAZDA3 – also one of the fastest selling Mazda cars in the past year.
