Most likely the Tesla. Though i'm really liking the Caddy, because they made a car they never made before to compete with BMW and did really well.

Gotta think its the Tesla. Blazing fast, pure electric, decent range, commendably luxurious, two trunks, and can seat 7. Why would it not be the Tesla.

Some history, past winners:
2012 Volkswagen Passat 2011 Chevrolet Volt[10] 2010 Ford Fusion[11] 2009 Nissan GT-R 2008 Cadillac CTS 2007 Toyota Camry 2006 Honda Civic 2005 Chrysler 300 2004 Toyota Prius 2003 Infiniti G35 2002 Ford Thunderbird 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2000 Lincoln LS 1999 Chrysler 300M 1998 Chevrolet Corvette 1997 Chevrolet Malibu 1996 Dodge Caravan 1995 Chrysler Cirrus 1994 Ford Mustang 1993 Ford Probe GT 1992 Cadillac Seville Touring Sedan 1991 Chevrolet Caprice Classic LTZ 1990 Lincoln Town Car 1989 Ford Thunderbird SC 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 1986 Ford Taurus LX 1985 Volkswagen GTI (eligible due to it being built in VW's now-defunct Pennsylvania plant) 1984 Chevrolet Corvette 1983 AMC / Renault Alliance 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 1981 Chrysler K Cars, Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant 1980 Chevrolet Citation 1979 Buick Riviera S 1978 Chrysler, Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon 1977 Chevrolet Caprice 1976 Chrysler, Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare 1975 Chevrolet Monza 2+2 1974 Ford Mustang II 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1972 Citroën SM (an imported vehicle that was selected overall "Car of the Year") 1971 Chevrolet Vega 1970 Ford Torino 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 1968 Pontiac GTO 1967 Mercury Cougar 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado 1965 Pontiac Motor Division 1964 Ford Motor Company (not for the Mustang) 1963 American Motors (AMC) Rambler (all models: American, Classic, and Ambassador) 1962 Buick Special 1961 Pontiac Tempest 1960 Chevrolet Corvair 1959 Pontiac Motor Division 1958 Ford Thunderbird 1957 Chrysler Corporation (all makes: Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial) 1956 Ford Motor Company 1955 Chevrolet Motor Division 1954 No award 1953 No award 1952 Cadillac Motor Division 1951 Chrysler Corporation 1950 No award 1949 Cadillac Motor Division They obviously seem to have a strong bias towards american cars. I predict we will not see a German car, nor BRZ on top. Tesla Model S may not score that high on value, but should score high on all the other criterias. Prius and Volt have won earlier. So "revolutionizing " eco-cars seems to be of high value. Model S is the largest revolution we have seen on electric cars in my opinion. So, I too would put my money on that car! |
