A number of years ago, Motor Trend was caught red-handed basically selling the "COTY" award. They went around to all the manufacturers, and asked, "if we pick your car as COTY, how many pages of advertising will you buy this year?" When the expose hit the news, MT said the responses from the manufacturers had no impact on their COTY decision - they just wanted to know "for planning purposes." What a crock. I cancelled my MT subscription, and I've never subscribed again.
