1- BMW M5
2- Subaru Impreza WRX STI
3- Chevrolet Impala LS

The M5 is just, whoa. Impreza is an amazing car to drive. And the impala is in my opinion the best all around car to get. The m5 definitly wins car of the year hands down tho.

Re: Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)

1. PORSCHE CARRERA S 997
The new CS is sexiest machine ever. Plus I also really like that porsche ditched the boxter lights, and made the 997 more traditional. It also performs very well. Next year #1 will be the cayman S.
2. CHEVROLET CORVETTE ZO6
Because a rear mounted tranny is a BIG plus in a FR sports car.
3. BMW M5
Yes is performs well, but no manual tranny? What has BMW gone to. I know that 7spd tiptronic is nice and all, but I think all car enthusiasts would love to see an old school 6 or 7 spd tranny.

I hate to call you on this, but the M5 will have a 6sp manual in the US in late 2006. The transmission in it right now however is not tiptronic, its a sequential transmission. There is a huge difference between the two.

Nice, its good to see that the M5 will be offered with a manual, sequantials are all fancy and nice and i prefer them over any automatic, however for pure driving enjoyment the clutch/stick combo rules supreme.

The new M5 is the daddy of all supersaloons. 500bhp, 200mph. Nuff said.
The Zonda F improves on the already stunning C12S and is a staggering achievement for such a new car manufacturer.
Finally, while im not a huge fan of its looks, the F430 is simply an animal and deserves a place in the top 3.
Couldn't agree more, chief !!!

1. Mazda RX-8 3 Pts.

2. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2 Pts.

3. Buggati Veyron 1 Pt.


We have to fight to save the rotary, the RX-8 is the last hope! The 'Vette is amazing. Outperforms everything underneath 120K for 70,000. The Veyron with it's governed 258 mph and 1001 horsepower (989 in the states) is an amazing car.

1) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - 3 pts
2) Chevrolet Traillblazer SS - 2 pts
3) Pontiac Grand Prix GXP - 1pt

Love American cars (especially those with a chevy small block v8) - always have and always will!

All three of these cars are relatively affordable in their categories and performance wise are at the top.

That's quite noticeable...however...until they get off their asses I'll only be fairly impressed, they know the capabilites of the Viper and until they realize the potential in it and make it faster/more powerful/LIGHTER I'll take the Z06. The Viper was, and still is a HUGE and bold statement car, it represents what all muscle car fanatics love, big cubic inches in a hell of a car, but Chevy has caught up with their Corvette, with that 7.0 litre small block, granted I don't consider it an exotic, and it's not a supercar, although it can beat most of them in performance, it still needs something more to set it apart from the base Corvette, to the plain jane person they won't see the difference when it flys by, yet most of us here could spot the difference 100 yards away. The only thing the Viper has on the Vette now is it's exclusiveness(sp) and rareness. Do those mean the same? It does look world's better than the Corvette I think but c'mon. It's as if the Viper is the fullback and the Vette the running back of America, more nimble, while the fullback has more muscle and that in your face ass-kicking attitude. This probably isn't the forum to say this but I had to get a rant off. I'm a Chevy man for life but I feel let down by Dodge for what the Viper came to be, and now it's this, I know Dodge can do better, it just seems as if they don't care for the Viper anymore. I just wish they could list a 3.55 axle option, I mean 5th gear is designed to top out at 220, and you still have sixth gear to go, c'mon, there's where the Corvette can beat it in acceleration tests.
