Nissan GT-R for the win in EVO Car of the Year?

[Erik]

Still a long time for the ECOTY, but what do you think already now?

Easy win for the Nissan GT-R or will any other car win?

[JavierNuvolari]

YES :), I believe it'll win..perhaps not easily.

[Benman]

I voted yes,

I mean, what else could possibly best it this year?

500hp, 3600/3700lbs, sub 4 sec 0-60 times, supreme handling (by all road tests to date), instant cult status... and then to top it all off, it cost the same as a new M3! LOL! Deal of the decade!

[AndyBG]

I also voted YES, but I think that new Corvette ZR1 will be the strong contender if it can enter that ''poll''...

[Benman]

I thought about the ZR-1 and the Z06 as well. But in times past, EVO has always complained of the Corvette's ride quality (and after driving them, I would agree).

So I say: GT-R.:cheers:

You tryed new ZR1 or just Z06...?

[Benman]

Tried out the new Z06, redefines fast! :D But although I only tried the Z06, I can all but assure that the Chevy team will not work on "ride quality" for the ZR1. ;)

I actually don't think it will win. I think they'll argue that it makes driving fast too easy or something.

From EVO

"But in the end, the mighty Nissan GT-R cannot be denied it's victory. No it didn't ignite the fires of lust like the Alfa and Lambo. It's styling is perhaps an aquired taste. But the truth is, there isn't another performance car on the planet that's as devastatingly cost-effective as the Nissan."

[Ruergard]

Yes, it probably will. Voted yes!

But I think that the LP-560 will have something to say about it as well... Both are amazing cars, I'm just looking forward to reading the test. Last one was superb. :D

[artur777]

GTR has the highest score!

[RXBG]

2010 it will be the R8 V10.

unless the the nsx or LFA give it a run for its money (cost to performance ratio-wise).

[Klint]

So predictable. Last year the R8 won more awards than the car sold! Skyline's going to be a repeat. Clarkson's clearly not too fond of the car from his dvd 'Thriller' for good reason!
