'Gay, straight, corrupt' cars named

More than 15 000 online users participated in the campaign

At the finish line, the pert Peugeot 207 CC was named "gayest" car, the buff Audi R8 strutted in as "straightest" and the in-your-face BMW X5 was voted free and fair as the "corrupt politician's car".

The candidates for the three categories were selected from new vehicles launched in 2007. This campaign is an annual Wheels24 event.

The winner of the eZee Torq advanced electric bicycle, and the runners-up of the four Garmin Nuvi 200W Global Positioning Systems (GPS), will be named shortly.
