Any nominations for car manufacture of the year

Any nominations for car manufacture of the year. The car manufacture that comes to mind is Hyundai, I know they don’t make the fastest cars in the world but I think this year they have made a great range of cars that look good and are very economical. Plus they have a 5 year or 100,000 mile warranty. they have even made a good van the iload. I have been in one it a good van. So that my manufacture of the year, so what’s yours then we can collect them and make a poll from all your nominations to decide.

Near the middle of the middle of middle England.
I say Porsche, for managing to come with as many pointless 911 variants as they did. Takes imagination and balls to pull that off.

Apparently the 911 GTS is the best value for money 911 you can buy today

I would have to say Ferrari. I mean the new 458 Italia and 599 GTO are both superb cars on and off the track. Aren't they both faster than the Enzo on Fiorano?

Weeeeeeell... I'd go for Hyundai. No other manufacturer has done anything equally amazing in terms of overall improvement. Great job, korean people, great job.

I would have voted GM for still existing, but that would have been stupid.

+1 Commodore. Hyundai brought it with the Genesis. Hard to believe what they came from in just 20 years... agreed, great job.

Aston Martin. For simply coming up with such masterpieces as the One-77 and the Rapide.
