Hmm... no Best Sport Compact?

Toyota may have solid products, but C&D rates on ergonomics and performance, and Toyota's only contenders in these divisions don't quite cut it.

The Camry is the only car they have close to the top in terms of style, performance and ergonomics.

mazdamazda,

er make that 2005 hehe

anyway, lexus is getting insanely serious this year in at least two of those categories: the new IS doing battle with the 3-series and TSX, and the new GS looks to be a contender in the RL's turf

parang ang labo ng categories ng C/D, i don't think they made the 10best contest category-based. parang ginawa ata nila, they just mentioned the categories of the 10 cars that happened to make the cut this year. because look, a muscle car category is kinda odd, since there are only two cars in it, and the RX8 and the mustang are comparable

Acura RL Best Luxury Sedan? While it may have undergone a technological breakthrough over its predecessors with better looks, 4WD and more power, I don't believe it has better dynamics and overall excitement than the magnificent new 5-Series.

I also disagree that the Best Sports Coupe went to the RX8. Proper work through the gears is needed to make it accelerate quickly because of low torque. It may have proper seating for 4, but overall, the mighty Nissan 350Z is more capable.

And the Dodge Magnum. Is that the next Ghost Buster vehicle? What happened to the great Volvo wagons? I reckon they're much better than before and are no longer designed through rulers and T-Squares.
