not surprisingly, the new golf took the honours: http://www.caroftheyear.org/media/ne...130305_69/coty

86/Brz came second though...

Considering practicality is nearly non-existent... Very well done!

Golf 7 is a great car. Considering the 86 is a purpose built sports car, lacking in practicality, not very friendly to the environment etc., it's amazing that it came 2nd. Sports cars hardly ever feature in these things.

So the Boxter takes it. Damn good car and any time a sports car wins, you gotta love it!

1 The Toyota 86 is the most exciting ride from the Japanese automaker in the past decade. It's stylish, fun to drive and priced well.
2 Lexus GS - I believe the automaker finally has a product that poses a threat to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-class.
3 Nothing says “dare to be different” like the Nissan Juke. It’s fun to drive and rather spacious.

Ja. I passed a woman on the corner of JF and Beyers this evening and I had to force the royal wave out of her. Did really not appreciate the car and the fraternity that driving the car puts her in.....
