Welcome to GMI Monaro. Not sure what your err was about but I am assuming you dodn't know about this guy^. His name is Peter Brock and he designed the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. Spooky but true.

Not to mention the Fiat Punto (which is ordinary at best), the Caliber (shudder) and the Rav 4(?)!

Very strange collection of vehicles for sure.

Thats pretty good, it's a great car!

elderon · 11-21-2006, 12:07 PM

What is the criteria for being on this list? Where is the Z06 Vette?

JDHogfisher · 11-21-2006, 04:09 PM

Dodge Caliber nominated. Are you serious. UGly FUgly

The Commodore better win.........if it lives up to the hype, then it will be instrumental in saving GMNA........

The abscence of the Toyonda Camcord, but the inclusion of the LS460 tells me that at least there's someone else out there that has good taste.......

But wait.......the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass are on there?!

Looks like I was wrong!

EGG · 11-22-2006, 08:56 AM

Apaprently part of the criteria is that the car must be available on at least 2 continents in at least 5 countries.

Last years winner was the BMW 3-series, 2004 was some other euro car.

They have got to be kidding having the rav4 in there. What were they thinking?
