I would guess that he won't be old enough in 4 years, either.

No, retards cant vote.

[Matt]

No, retards cant vote.

Technically, they can. And it explains our current situation.

[Rockefella]

No, retards cant vote.

especially when younger than 18...

Best New Car Overall - BMW E60 M5 - Performance car £40,000 less than it should be

Worst New Car Overall - too many to choose from, I can't make my mind up.

Best SUV/4WD - Land Rover Discovery 3. Because it can go offroad (wow!)

Worst SUV/4WD - BMW X3. Because it can't.

Best Family Car - Ford Focus Mk 2

Worst Family Car - Can't decide.

Best MPV/MiniVan - Renault Espace

Worst MPV/Minivan - Mercedes Vaneo. The technical term is "big bag of w**k"

Best Sports Car - Marcos TSO R/T. Like an old school TVR, but won't break down. (And if it does, the Americans are to blame.)

Worst Sports Car - Chrysler Crossfire. It would have been average 10 years ago.

Best Concept Car - Renault Fluence. Pushing the standard of concept cars forward.

Worst Concept Car - So many to choose from, most of them from Ford and GM. Worst is probably the Chrysler PT Cruiser Coupe: pathetic.

Designer of the Year - Patrick le Quément. Avant-garde without being unneccessarily ugly.

Head On A Stick Award - Dr. Karl-Heinz Neumann. There might be a new Bugatti sometime in the next century. Possibly.

Biggest Car Industry Stuff Up - Ferrari - 3 (4 if Auto Express' image of the 575 replacement is mildly accurate) absolute stinkers on the trot in terms of design (all IMHO of course), then they built a GT car which didn't comply with the GT rules, then they managed to get it racing anyway. The Maserati Quattroporte's gearbox has been slated for being rubbish. Etc, etc

Lifetime Achievement Award (For A Long Serving Car or Brand hitting a Milestone) - Aston Martin: They actually turned a profit, possibly the first time ever.

youve all forgot the supercar or does that count in the sport's car categoury i cant spell

[Karrmann]

I would also consider the Miata a far better sports car than the Viper. The Miata is more true to the sports car heritege than a Viper.

yes, cause the Viper is caught between over rated piece of junk and pedal bike.

Dodge is acting like they got a heads up on the supercar market but it can't beat many of the competeters, Ferrari F355 Lamborghini Gallerdo etc.

a sparts car is a car that is peppy, sporty, cheap and is stylish enough to be the coolest car on the block. the Viper fits nowhere in those lines.

and slicks, my brain is working fine, stop action like these Viper lovin big jocks on SC.net

Best Concept Car- Oldsmobille Aerotech III

That concept is older than you are.

Are you going to vote for Abraham Lincoln next week? No, because he isn't a 2004 presidential candidate.

HaHaHaHaHa!!!! LMFAO

Best Sports Car- Mazda Miata
Worst Sports Car-Dodge Viper

Wow, you really need your brain inspected....
