  • Why on earth would the CHALLENGER win CAR OF THE YEAR? It's a good looking car - but come on.

  • move to japan then you little asshole

  • Right away they disqualify all the American cars. . . . predictable. It's awful how car magazines don't give them a chance anymore.

  • Im pretty fond of the Challenger and that new Lincoln MKS, but naturally, they rule those out.

  • Comment removed

  • i got tricked by someone writing this

  • The GTR won last year, that car is amazing.

  • How can the British be so retarded. Did we beat your ass so bad 200 years ago you feast on your own shit for breakfast:?

  • He's aussie...

  • I Was drunk

  • What a joke. Ignorant cunts. Europeans must be retarded low lifes. The Challenger beat all. Eurotrash must be the most pathetic pieses of shit on earth.

  • wheres honda accord and civic and toyota camry

  • they have some stupid choices. gtr vs. fit? wtf. why the hell would you pit those two in the same class? they should have different classes like they did for the speed test thing or whatever it was. the one with like under 30k, 30k-60k, etc.

  • I can't believe they would choose the Honda Fit over the Dodge Challenger after the first round. I'm still scratching my head over that one.

  • They also put the Acura TSX over the Challenger. WTF!!!

  • vette 0812 emotional....hahaha ahakss

  • That guy reminds me of David Bowie.

  • At least they chose a coty that would be considered a classic. Some previous choices from the 90s are laughable, Cirrus, Malibu, Caravan, Town car, Probe gt, CAprice, Seville. These cars are barely running a decade later unless totally rebuilt. They should only consider cars that would be worth restoring or preserving 30 years from now.

  • amazing car!

  • Skylines for life.

    (Yes I know the R35 isn't called a Skyline, just GT-R.)

  • Could you say: "hjyundj khia proving grounds" one more time? Didn't quite get it... ..lol

  • Warning: Accessing the level of performance that gives this car the Calipers may void the test car's transmission warranty.

  • My MKS didn't do to bad for a huge car.

  • "...And then as we go into the sweeper here, approaching 90 - 100 mph, just how stable the car is at speed..."

    He sounds like he's taking a Sunday drive! 100 mph? No big deal. :)

    The GT-R will win. I may be a Corvette guy (hence my name), but I'm rooting for the GT-R.

  • I guess I was a few days behind... the GT-R already won!

  • Nooo.. lol I still love the ZR1. It's ok though, the GT-R is still an amazing car!!

  • Wait... was the ZR1 even in this test?

  • Nope, if it was it would have won...

    :)

  • dude it was judged on 3 criteria

    one of them is value for money

    zr1 cost a few pennies more than a gtr so if you want a comparison between the zr1 and gtr wait for the vspec, because in reality you compare the gtr to the z06

  • True, the Zr1 does cost more, but if money is an issue, reliability should be too. If you drove that GT-R hard for a few months, you would spend more money on just repairs than you would to buy a completely new ZR1. I was just making the comment because no corvette was ever compared (that I saw)

  • you make a valid point but no one can be sure of the running cost for each car if they themselves have not driven both. and the zr1 is probably not as well rounded as the gtr, perhaps more reliable, but gtr maybe more suitable for day to day needs as well as good for track purposes.

  • The point I was trying to make is the transmission. The GT-R's tranny is weak and will break if the launch feature is used often. If the car was driven too hard too, it voids the warrenty. $20k down the drain for a new tranny.

    Not to be rude or anything (because I do think the GT-R is a sweet ride) but I don't see how the GT-R is more suitable for day to day needs. After all, isn't reliability what a daily drive should have? So how is it more well rounded?

  • point taken...

    but well who is gonna abuse their car everyday, how is that at all practical? as a daily drive and weekend run i think most cars are fine for such a thing and i doubt the gtr would be any different

  • that would be a very fun test to be apart of, I wonder who will win it next year?

  • It'really a nice way to ecaluate the car's overall performance...
