C'mon, Ike, READ!!! The very first line in this thread tells you what MotoringTV is. If you want your opinions taken at all seriously (as you say), at least put the tiniest bit of effort into forming them, instead of just mouthing off ignorantly.

FWIW, it's been on the air for over 10 years, and is generally an objective, entertaining show. Go back to their web site and read some of the Jim Kenzie spots - Kenzie's Korner - sort of an Andy Rooney take on motoring issues.

Regards,
Gordon

I don't give a damn if Walter Kronkite worked for motoring TV, it's a godawful list of cars and they should be ashamed for compiling one that lacks so many cars.

Family Car:
Chevrolet Malibu
Mitsubishi Galant
Toyota Prius
(Accord, Mazda6, VW Passat, Camry)

Luxury/Prestige:

(No Merc, No Infiniti, No Lexus???)

Sports Coupe:
Chrysler Crossfire
Mazda RX-8*
Toyota Solara
(G35C, 350Z, Accord Coupe, RSX, CobraR, Eclipse GTS, Celica GTS...)

C'mon, that list is a joke, and the RX-8 should be running away with the lead with or without your guys help. Forgive me if I listed cars that are not available in Canada (I know the EVO isn't), but I know many that I did are, and there are many other cars that I didn't list that could have made for a better list.

C'mon, Ike, THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do all the nominees have in common? They are all new or updated models. The alternatives you listed are models introduced one or more years ago. They were considered - in their year of introduction, thus in their year of eligibility - which isn't this year. Sigh.......
