MotoringTV - Vote for RX-8 for Car of the Year!

The Canadian sports channel, TSN ( www.tsn.ca ), runs a automotive review show called Motoring 2004. Every year, they do a Car of the Year selection (the Canadian Automobile Journalists Assoc. also does one).

Motoring's Car of the Year web site is here: http://www.motoringtv.com/caroftheyear.html . On the right side of the web page, there's a box for the online poll ( link to make it even easier! ). PLEASE go check it out, and vote for the RX-8 - in 2 categories, Sports Coupe AND in Car of the Year!

Right now, the RX-8 has a huge lead in the Sports Coupe category, but is in 2nd place for Car of the Year. Not a lot of votes are in yet, so we can make a big difference if everyone votes for the RX-8! (350Z and G35C fans, your cars aren't even listed, so you might as well vote for the RX-8 too )

Regards,
Gordon

woo-hoo... now tied for first! Keep them votes a-comin'. Btw, to clarify other discussions on the matter, the poll says because the '8s rear doors do not open independent of the front doors, it is a coupe. Glad that is finally cleared up. ;-)

Well, in the 'sports coupe' category, what are the ones to beat? The Solara and the Crossfire? Hm... doesn't seem to be even a close call to me.

The 'car of the year' category... now that's not so easy to predict. As much as I dislike Cadillac, the XLR is a pretty sweet machine, and the Mazda 3 is a great little car too. Of course the BMW 5-series is not too shabby either. We will see how it works out.

At least I put in my two votes for the 8 :D

Well, the 8 and the XLR were tied for first with 19 votes each 2.5 hours ago. Now the vote is 41-19; the Caddie hasn't budged. Keep them votes coming!

I think this forum is so active, it should be no problem for the 8 to win both polls.

Well done, let's keep it going! If someone hasn't checked it yet, please go and vote! (Nice to see lots of people also voting for the Mazda3 in the Economy Car category! :D )

Gordon

Not for me... I get as far as selecting the RX-8 over the Camry Solara and Chrysler Crossfire, click VOTE! and get nothing but a 500 Internal Server error. Sigh.

Looks like the Acura TL has overtaken the Mazda3 for second place in the overall Car of the Year category and is closing in on the RX-8 - come on people, click the link and vote for the RX-8! (Both for Sports Coupe and Overall!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gordon

I voted on all categories and My pick was tops on all but the mini-van, and even that was a very close second.

Was finally able to vote. The RX8 is currently leading in both "Sport Coupe" and "Car of the Year" categories.

True, but the cars they put it up against are a joke and it seems that poll overall is as well, pretty easy to stuff the ballot with so few other people voting. Not that it would really matter... I mean c'mon Crossfire and Solara... What the hell is MotoringTV anyhow?
