wow-- I'm impressed- the Vette got top spot and the Cobalt was the runner up--
I am intrigued by the winners of the "Best Concept Car" category though...

nothing is a carry over? not even the v6 engine. or same o' solid rear axle thats been on it since the 80's? as for the c6, think that is all new, but styling had to remain traditional vette. diehard vette people would have it no other way.. vette is not a car to sell its soul just to sell a few more units like the mustang. besides, mustang isn't even in same catagory as the vette.Originally posted by dans67firebird@Jan 13 2004, 02:58 PM
This might cause some waves, but I'm surprised the the new Mustang did not receive any awards. Don't get me wrong, the Vette is sweet and I want one. But the Mustang is totally new and is hot. The Vette to me is just a redone C5. Nothing is carry over on the Mustang, new chassis, new skin and a new 5-speed auto. Something the Vette should have!!
Just my thoughts.
Hmm... let's see.. different V6 engine entirely. The axle hasn't changed much, but why is this an issue? When it comes to the live axle, Ford pretty much has that one down pat, and I see little reason to change it. Yes, IRS would be nice, but for a low-priced (relatively) car, it's a little impractical. Other than that and the 5-speed manual, I see little that is the same as the previous generation.Originally posted by IMPALAon20s@Jan 13 2004, 04:33 PM

Do the words BLUE DEVIL mean anything to you??
The Corvette isn't meant to be a retro-pop like the Rustang. Let them have their retro, but I would rather have Evolutionary design then retro anyday of the weak...
