with all respect,
COTY is not the award just for a dream car or a super car but with many criteria it should tick more than others.
IMHO, 86/BRZ is just ticking on more boxes than the others are in 2012 competition.
It is super affordable and undeniably fun to drive and subjectively good looking.
so many first prize to 86/BRZ this year internationally and it can't be wrong with all those evidence.
