The first annual UCP car awards 2003.

[carlover]

I think UCP should have a car award thingy. We could vote on catogorys such as: Best Overall Car, Best Looking Car, Worst Overall Car, Worst Looking Car, Best Chop On UCP, Best Chop Anyone Found Anywhere and so on... I guess the first car awards could have any car from January First 2003 through March Sixth 2004. After that we would just do March Sixth (last year) through March Sixth (the year). The cars we vote on would have to be completely new or reinvented for thier 2004 model. First we vote for nominees (where you vote for five cars that you think should be nominated) then we vote for the winner (where you vote for one car that you think should win out of the selected nominees). I know there are probaly a bunch of flaws with this so if you find any could you point them out to me? I don't know if this will work out or not but we should try it and see how it works out. It might be some fun. All comments and questions are welcome.I also need some more catogorys for voting on.

OK so far we have:

Worst Sportscar: BMW Z4

Worst SUV: BMW X3

Best Chop On UCP: Painterr's Infinti G35

BMW is doing pretty bad this year.This is turning out to be more of a hassle than I thought but it's pretty cool.

[Spastik_Roach]

Bmw is not too good but there are much worser cars out there. Take the new Diamante for example. I believe alot of the picks in this forum have been 99.9% biased towards design and are totally disregarding how comfortable it is, how it drives and if it is good value.

Maybe you could run these awards for different categories (e.g Worst S.U.V im design, value, comfort, driving experience)

Just my 2 cents...

Personally, I think the BMW Concept M5 looks great...

So why not give a UCP award for the best and worst range of cars? My vote, BMW for worst, and Maserati for best.

[Falcon500]

This will never work people are far to biased to write about this stuff off their own back.

At least we can vote independently and don't have to worry that negative criticism will be followed by advertisement boycot of the magazine that we (don't) work for.

Where is the Pontiac Aztek here? Thats far worse looking than any BMW!!! This is not going to work. Too many brand loyalists and people are just ugnna get pissed off and flame the forums.

[Spastik_Roach]

Best Racecar: Mitsubishi Impreza

Touaran? You've got your models mixed up here...

Some cars the Americans have the decency not to make available for export, the Aztekbeing one of them, so it's not featuring very prominently in the consciousness of the non American carnut. I sympathise with your feelings though. Last week at the Geneva motor show I saw a small car made by Tata of India, could have easily won the price for ugliest small car ever designed, hope it will stay there for ever.

UCP Hitman, tell us the truth, or you will be banned on the spot.
We're not the kind for messing about here.
Violence will get you nowhere, cyber violence less so.
