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.


Economy Car:
Toyota Echo Hatchback
Suzuki Swift
Chevrolet Aveo
Mazda3
(The Prius isn't an economy car??? Civic, Elantra)

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

Luxury/Prestige:
Audi A8
BMW 5 Series
Jaguar XJR
(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...)

Sports Sedan:
Acura TL
Nissan Maxima
Volvo S60R
(3 Series, G35)

Performance Car:
Dodge Viper
Cadillac XLR
Audi S4
(CobraR, Corvette, M3, Something AMG)

Minivan:
Ford Freestar
Nissan Quest
Toyota Sienna
(Who cares)

SUV:
Cadillac SRX
Lexus RX 330
VW Touareg
(MDX, Pilot, GX470)

Pickup Truck
Dodge Ram
Ford F150
Nissan Titan
(Chevy?)

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.......

Regards,
Gordon
