86/BRZ Wins Wheels COTY 2012 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi All,

Logged into facebook and saw that Wheels Magazine had updated their status and...the 86/BRZ has won Wheels COTY 2012!

Magazine comes out tomorrow I think, will be a good read so make sure you get it to add to your collections!

Cheers

Paying for a 32 page lift out had no bearing on the result, I'm sure...

Just a reminder that the Honda CR-Z got Wheels COTY 2011.

Ah monty.

Still around, and still saying things that you should just keep to yourself.

Its a forum. I can voice my opinion on such an award. Wheels has the credibility of an Egyptian presidential candidate. Every year the prize has gone to the biggest advertising account. Don't get shitty, its a fact.

Think 2011 was more indicative of the remainder of the field, but not a vintage year for sure

The twins were always destined to win this and when I saw the final 3 (VW Up! and Holden Volt), they were a shoe in!

You probably enjoy wearing tin foil hats too.

I know it's just a 'magazine'. But it will have a nice writeup on the car we all love, especially since it's won the 1st prize.

Feel free to start a "Wheels mag is all BS" thread.

oh the irony
so if someone else who owns a brz/86 made the same comment that would be ok? i agree with his sentiment.

You are saying we will love the car more because it has won a prize? i don't follow the logic. i would have thought that you have bought a product because it suits you, not because it has won a popularity contest.

I love these forums. Why are you so hostile over my opinion on Wheels magazine?

Doesn't matter if you own the car or not. This thread was supposed to be a lil celebration of another win, and has been turned into a thread that is anti Wheels.

Like i said, feel free to start a new thread against Wheels.

I ordered before I drove the car or knew what it cost and before it won wheels and before the 32 page spread. It suits me fine. You just can't read properly.

Again, this post is a heads up for people who wish to buy wheels to read a bit more about the car they probs already know enough about. Now relax.

i.e. there will be a big writeup on the car, since it's won 1st place. Not, we will love the car more lol

Perhaps something to that effect in the thread title would have been a good idea then? This IS a "discussion" forum, after all. Seems the whole thread so far falls into the discussion category.

Agreed. It was tongue in cheek of course.
