Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)
Read this before posting:
Well its December and 2005 it’s coming to an end. Therefore it’s our duty to choose the car which defined the last 12 months of our lives. This is the nominations thread. You will choose 3 cars and rate them: 1st place will receive 3 points 2nd place will receive 2 points 3rd place will receive 1 point After about two weeks this thread will be closed and the moderating team will tally up the points. The top 10 rated cars will go on a poll where they will stay till the end of the year. On the first of January one car will have the honor of being acclaimed as Car Comparison's Car Of The Year. Only cars available on the market during 2005 may apply. (cars marketed by manufacturers as "2006 models" are also eligible) Feel free to discuss and debate your choices, in a civilized manner of course. But do make sure to post your nominations clearly (use of bolds is suggested) otherwise there is a chance we might miss them during the final tally. Also please type in the full name and model of the car nominated. "Tuner" cars are not eligible unless considered by a national government as a standalone car such as in the case of Ruf (licensed as a car manufacturer by the German government) whose cars stop being officially Porche after he is done with them. Specify the exact model of the car!!! (eg. Mustang GT; Mustang V6 etc...). If you think of an older model specify otherwise the latest model will be assumed. Thank You

1. Ferrari F430 - 3pts
2. Aston Martin V8 Vantage - 2pts 3. BMW M5 - 1pts I chose as #1 the ferrari since its a tecnological masterpice while offering all of the red ferrari passion we came to expect, what it lost in elegance to the 360 it more than made up in performance. The baby aston comes at #2 since its an "afordable" model almost as good looking as the DB9 and it comes with a manual!!! The teutonic computer on wheels comes at #3 since it offers us 500 hp worth of supercar performance in a sensible sedan (dads of the world rejoice - well at least the rich dads  )

Re: Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)
1. BMW M5 (E60) - 3pts
2. Pagani Zonda F - 2pts 3. Ferrari F430 - 1 pt 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. Last edited by crayzayjay; 12-07-2005 at 11:07 AM. |

1) BMW M5 3pts
2) Audi RS4 2pts 3) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 1pt chose S4 over the M3 cuz the redesigned smaller 4.2L V8 delivers 414bhp, and 06 Mitsu Evo over the 06 STi (close call with this rivalry, but i'm siding with Evo this time). Sorry, i don't have enough know-all on cars in class with Pagani, Ferrari, and Lambo's to chose one there.

Re: Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)
1. Chevrolet Corvette Z06
2. BMW M5 3. Pontiac Solstice The Corvette Z06 is ultimately the best bang for you buck sports car on the market today. It competes with the supercars as a very un-supercar price....my only question is that does this car actually count as a 2005 COTY? 100hp/L is always very tough to accomplish...but to be able to do it out of 5L with adequate torque and high revs is absolutely astounding IMO the solstice is an amazing little roadster...The thing absolutely flies when you want it to, but can be civil and calm on your less energetic days...I have driven it, and I am a believer!

OK here are my common guy picks...
Mustang GT - 3PT Corvette C6- 2PT Colorado - 1PT Ferrari's are great but I can't touch them with my buying power... I like what Ford did with the new Mustang as it looks great with a slight retro style to it, the new Corvette just plain smokes anything under $60K, and I know its a truck but the new Chevy Colorado pickup five cylinder is just plain innovative..... |

BMW M5 E60 = 3 points
Simply because its the best compromise between sport and comfort. Buggati Veyron = 2 points Well, do it get more insame than with this machinery. 1001 BHP and over 400 kmp/H. THis car will sure set the benchmark for a long time. Ferrari 430 = 1 point The best driving machine today. Everything is made to perfection with this fine piece of engineering. What an engine !! |

Re: Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)
1. Bugatti Veyron (3 points) Bugatti Picture
2. Mosler MT900S (2 points) Mosler Picture 3. BMW M5 (1 points) BMW Picture How can't you just fall in love with the new Bugatti. The things a masterpiece. It never hurts to go 252mph straight from the factory! I really love the fact that the Mosler has that race car look straight from the factory yet is still street legal. Also, its nice its got the balls to hold its own. And of course the M5. I've loved this car since I first seen it. It doesn't hurt that its actually got a reasonable price as well!!

Re: Car Comparisons' Car Of The Year 2005 - Nominations (read instructions first!)
I will stick to models sold in the US.
1: FORD GT "Bang for the Buck?" this will compete with anything twice its price 2: CHEVROLET COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED I have driven one. filthy quick and and incredible handling. Any more sporty and it will eclipse the Vette 3: CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8 Luxury and 425bhp and 420 torque for the common mans price. Mopar flexes some Hemi Muscle. SRT-4 and Charger SRT-8 would have made the list, but both have a few too many doors for what they are... Last edited by AutostradaVR4; 12-08-2005 at 06:09 PM. |
