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! |

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?

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.
