My vote = Tata Nano.

With that brake problem, I don’t think the Prius is going to win..my vote is either the Q5, Polo, or Mazda 3

Go Kia Soul!

Prius have to win. Go Prius…

Cmon Audi Q5!! Or even the Regal. Cmon Regal!!

Opel/Vauxhall Insignia/Buick Regal for car of the Working catagory

Ferrari California – For the Sporting catagory

Ford Fusion hybrid – For the Hairless catagory

Although I like the S400 as a hybrid. It’s got the real deal hybrid power tucked in the same spot as a normal car battery – that’s really what the future hybrid will be. Plus it’s the cheapest S Class.

Q5 is indeed a very nice car. I just wished it was 20% cheaper.

My vote is for the q5, r8/evora, and VW bluemotion.

Polo or Insignia/Regal.
R8 V10
Bluemotion. GTFO hybrids. You can’t even come close to a 70+ mpg diesel.

…wow good thing I threw the Regal in there, I almost looked like a fanboy.

Mazda3
R8
Fusion

Hands down!

Ford Fusion Hybrid

gugy – The price and the lack of accessories that allows me to personalize it was my biggest turn off with the Q5. Other than that its an awesome car and a blast to drive.

Cars are really well split between the marques:

Toyota:2 (but same car)
Ford:1
Mercedes:3
Audi:3
GM:2
BMW:2
Honda:1
Porche:3
VW:2

E-Class
370Z
Fusion

It is really indeed a great car.
The thing is you cannot find a base model for less than $40k and the premium plus that is the way to go IMHO then we are talking $45k. Just too much. It should be less, but if Audi is doing well selling them, then good for then and bad for us. lol

They should have put the new S4 on there. It’s my favorite car as of last night

Here’s my vote for green car of the year: http://fivestarworld.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/veyron-5.jpg

>Opel/Vauxhall Insignia/Buick Regal for car of the Working catagory

+1

I’ve seen 4 brand new S4’s just this week, idrinorbarsaku. Every time I see one I just want it more. Just saw a white R8 with a foreign college student behind the wheel. Of course. Lucky bastard.

My vote: Toyota Prius/Porsche Panamera
Realistically: Merc E-class

My vote: Porsche GT3
Realistically: Porsche GT3/Porsche Cayman/Boxster

My vote: Toyota Prius
Realistically: Ford Fusion Hybrid

Where’s my Chevy Volt under the “Green Column”?

Since when is the Z4 a performance car? It would get raped by everything else on the list!

A4,
If you are implying that only foreign college students drive an R8, then thanks!
I’m still surprised that the s4 is not on there. It can’t be because of the price, or because it lacks anything. It’s a great car that you can drive all year long. Too bad you can’t lease them right now. I would have one in our garage if they could.

hope the regal wins..

- Audi Q5: RS4 or bust kid.. hmm or R8 if i have to
- BMW X1: no
- Chevrolet Cruze: reary?
- Kia Soul: ha..hahaha..aww good one
- Mazda Mazda3: oh you mean the smiling MazdaMazda Mazda… Mazda.. Maaazda3?
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class: C63 please
- Opel/Vauxhall Insignia/Buick Regal: “thats a buick?.. yea but” ‘i know right!’
- Porsche Panamera: two girls one cup cant touch the nasty that is panamera
- Toyota Prius: no brakey= no winy
- Volkswagen Polo: come on, you give the honours to a car named Polo… the only polo that gets my respect is the one who punch parez hilton in his big gay face

World Car of the Year: VW Polo. The nominees are a weak bunch; the Polo is the only one I’d consider buying.
Performance Car of the Year: Nissan 370Z. Best performance for the price.
World Green Car of the Year: Ford Fusion Hybrid. Finally a car you can live with; great fuel economy is not mutually exclusive with normalcy.

Regal, R8 V10, and Fusion should be the winners. But my favorites are the Q5, E 63, and S class hybrid. While the S-Class’s mpg might not be that impressive, you have to remember that it has a huge gas tank.

Car of the Year : Polo, they have to be politically correct
my choice : Panamera
Performance Car of the Year: Boxster/Cayman, for the handling awards they got
my choice : GT3
Green Car of the Year : Bluemotion, because hybrids suck
my choice : Polo TDI Bluemotion

i’m surprised no one mentioned the Evora.

Toyota Prius is in the running? Srsly?

I mentioned the evora, and I would expect it to win in that category, but the R8 will prove to be a strong contender. The Prius can’t win because they also look at dependability/recalls, and this list was contrived before all the mayhem too over at toyota.

One think that I believe is noticeable, is the commercials from audi’s TDI and Toyota’s Prius. The TDI are informative and real, like the real potential of saving gas while having fun, as to the prius commercials which involve the car driving through retarded green fields, over a path that is separated by way too many fake flowers! They should at least wait till april if they want to award anything to the prius, that way, if they get any negative remarks towards it, they can quickly take it back!

Not many good cars to vote for…

Performance car of the year- Ferrari California or Audi R8

“Most efficient” car of the year- Ford Fusion hybrid.
