Another thing is they told you nothing about the cars just that they were expencive and fast or luxurious. Does anyone else think that the show just wasted an hour and half of your time? I know thats what people voted and stuff but I just thought it would be better.
exactly what i was thinking
when i first saw the commercial i was amped, then i saw the categories; "most jammin truck", "MAD-REAL SUV", "MID-LIFE CRISIS CAR", wtf?

the show was a joke, i didn't even care about the cars. who gives a shit about some un-obtaneable(sp) supercar winning this or that. i'm sure we would all be very happy with the lowest rated car in any of the categories. maybe if they did an actual, realistic, factual show, i would have finished watching.

BAH!

i like swiss cheese

That show sucked plain and simple. I had to change the chanel when they put the trophy on the hood of the car that won, and started dancing around the car WTF.

In my opinion the worst part was the two guys trying to soup up the Civic. All it contained was stereotypes of muscle car guys and tuner guys. The tuner section was complete bullshit. wheres the Skyline, Supra, RX-7? They left out all the kings of import tuning.

Re: Results for Spike TV's AutoRox

Yep so the show sucked big time and the cars that won weren't that good. Even the comontery when they were announcing the cars was bad.

Oh ya and out of those cars the Sti should have taken tuner for sure. I thought it was going to be the EVO then they said RSX and I was like

Joe Rogan wasn't funny, Carmen Electra wasn't funny, and well you don't have to say much for Funk Master Flex. This was just sad and the results are so horribly stupid. How does the SRT-10 Ram win the best truck? How does the RSX Type-S beat out the Evo and STi, how does the S7 beat the Zonda, and how does the GT500 win the muscle car award when it is a pony car?

Lame ass is all I can say, ya' hurrrrd.

Re: Results for Spike TV's AutoRox

I fell asleap watching it..go figure...

A couple of things I found 'Amusing':
-How many times they refered to the Porsche Cayenne as a "true off roader" or a "true 4x4." Yeah. My ass.
-How none of the hosts/people with microphones who always rolled into the stage with in a car....and none of them were driving
-How incredibly dumb Carmen Electra acted.

*edit* And yea, how the hell did the GT500 win "muscle car" award. Please. A muscle car by definition was a full size coupe (sometimes a sedan) with the biggest engine the company offered...Charger, GTO, Road Runner, Galaxy, Comet, Fairlane...

Re: Re: Results for Spike TV's AutoRox

^ Ya todays image of a muscle car is not the same. Nowadays anything made in the '60s or '70s with a V8 and any American modern car with a V8 and rear wheel drive. You named some good originals in your post *cough* galaxie *cough*.

Maybe it doesn't have to have the companies biggest engine but larger than a 350ci at least or else you can count mine out(biggest they put in them was a 428ci). My grandpa used to have a Thunderbird mid 70s I think with a 460ci it was a beast.
