The "Best Convertible" ALWAYS gets bad reviews so I don't know how that one won. One of my friends had one as a rental and it was a complete POS.

And I also don't consider the C Class Benz a "Luxury-Sedan" ...maybe the E class, but the C is not what I think of when I think Luxury Sedan.

I guess we've all got our opinions though.......

This just screams wrong. I wouldn't pay any attention to this list simply because of that single award.

And how about you change best performance car to Nissan GTR instead of the MB.

I have to agree with Ford F series on the pickup truck as well. There is a reason they sell the most.

I know. It was just a joke since the IS is supposed to be Lexus' "sport" car but you feel like you're driving a bed.

Woah woah woah...I was just looking at the list again...

"Best performance car - Volkswagen R32"

...are you kidding me? The car hardly performs better than its sibling, the GTI, according to multiple magazines and online articles at least. Man this review is so bad it's funny.

Best Luxury Sedan - Mercedes-Benz C-Class ???

I can understand an S-class or a 7 series, but a C-class ? WTF?

Maybe they should title the best of the best list as "best that an unknowledgeable Joe can hope to afford"

or maybe "Settling for the Best"

What do you mean, hardly? lol. 0-60 5.5 seconds according to C&D, which is .7 seconds quicker than the C&D GTI, and does the nurburgring almost 20 seconds faster than the GTI. Better performance than a GTI? Yes. The best performance car for the year according to that magazine? Probably no.

I heard it wasn't all that great considering the price differential. I could be wrong though.
