I was having a discussion with a colleague the other day about the hype of the 86/FR-S/BRZ, the affection that atuo journalists have for it and whether or not that would translate into a broad enough appeal to garner other awards like Car of the Year, etc. From an enthusiast standpoint I think it would be a slam-dunk but from an average consumer I don't really know.

That would be nice but I am afraid it is a little too uncompromising for the first three awards you listed there. I can see it being one of C&D Top Ten though because those go by categories.
