Gay and straight cars named

The Audi RS4 is SA's "straightest" car while the Peugeot 207 is perceived as the "gayest" car
After three weeks of furious online voting and speculation, South Africa's three most personality-injected new car models have been outted in Wheels24's 2006 "Alternative Car of the Year" online poll.
At the finish line, the pert Peugeot 207 was named "gayest" car, the buff Audi RS4 strutted in as "straightest" and the scrumptious derriere of the Alfa Romeo Brera kicked butt for the "rear of the year" title.
The candidates for the three categories were selected from new vehicles launched in 2006. This campaign is to become an annual Wheels24 event.
The Alternative Car of the Year campaign, conducted in partnership with Road Angel Navigator, SA's premier in-car global positioning system (GPS), recorded over 16 000 votes during the period.
The winners of the four Road Angel GPS systems will be named shortly.
