I honestly want to see one of the SUVs win. Whoever thought that collection of vehicles make up Japan's "Supercars" was a moron.

True. I voted for the Infinity QX. Actually, why not vote Hummer in for Japan's supercar?

If the Infinity QX is anything like the Jeep Cherokee then it is fast off the line... surprising what they can do with all wheel drive. Of course they aren't the best for handling around a corner like a super car is.... Don't think the 8 has super car status the last time I checked. That being said none of the other vehicles are either.

What classifies a true supercar?

No I didn't. Whenever I see the little hand icon avatar you have, I scroll down the page a bit. I never read what you have to say.

Agreed and exactly the point. There isn't a "supercar" in there at all whatever definition you use. I think poor gas mileage, silly horsepower, outrageous looks (though still could be very good looking) and costs as much as a house.

The QX meets any criteria you wish to set least of all (sports or supercar...). It is fast for a SUV but it is still an SUV. Compared to the cars there it is downright sluggish in terms of both acceleration and handling.

It's still showing 50-50, but if you loook at the bars, they appear to be slightly ahead. Now's NOT the time to sluff off!!!
