Gaywheels does determine whether an auto manufacturer is gay-friendly based on its corporate policies for offering domestic-partner benefits to employees in the U.S. While the website classifies this, it does not affect the top 10 most-researched list.

Of course, in 2007, MINI changed its corporate policies to become gay-friendly. Coincidence or not, its Cooper has joined the top 10. Good work. [Gaywheels]
