Top Gear’s Awards for 2005: Bugatti Veyron Is “Best Car” Our pal Punkey zapped us the results of TopGear’s awards for 2005, including runners-up. As most watchers figured, the Bugatti Veyron won for Best Car, beating the Jalopnik pick — the Ferrari F430 — and the BMW M5, which we won’t get to drive until January (knock on wood). The Ferrari also lost to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the Best Noise category. Man, we really have to get across the pond more often. Click through for more results. Best Car: Ferrari F430 BMW M5 Bugatti Veyron (Winner) Biggest Surprise: Honda Civic Nissan Murano Audi RS4 (Winner) Ugliest Car: Ssangyong Kyron Ssangyong Rodius Ssangyong Musso BMW 3-series (Winner) Best Noise: Ferrari F430 Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Winner) Gas Guzzler: Range Rover Sport Bugatti Veyron Hemel Hempstead Ford GT (Winner) Coolest Car: Porsche 911 (Hammond and May’s Winner) Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Clarkson’s Winner) Source: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

I can't believe they voted the 3er as the "Ugliest Car"... then again, it's Top Gear, can't expect anything less. The other winner are very accpetable though. |

I wouldn't say the 3 series is the ugliest car, but definetly not a very good design if you ask me.... It also could be that they expect more from BMW, but the rear of the car is lousy, and the interior is as well. |

One of the reasons I like Top Gear is that the guys always seem to do what they feel like doing, and largely ignore whatever the public may think. (I do think the Rodius is uglier than the 3-series, though.) |

If 3 series is the ugliest for them then i wonder what they used to say about 7 series before the facelift.  |
