*** is up with the quashqai!? That is totally not right!

werd, wats up with the clubman? all the hatered and then it wins an award? they did the same thing with the 350Z a few years ago. His review was totally negative bout the car and then it won sports car of the year.

I can see why the Civic is on the list. I've seen it in red and black, it makes the GTI look boring as a bowl of oatmeal. Very striking car which is IMO the best looking hatch on the market. The design is super car bold.

Very strange award winners.

But you guys have to remember that Honda Civic and Nissan Qashqai are both made in England (for European markets that is).

I agree about C class , R8 , GT-R and Jaguar though.

I agree with all of the results except the Clubman thing. It's disgusting. The Fiat 500 is sooooo small! Wow!

Can someone more in tune with the show/magazine explain why the Stig is always sleeping or playing dead? I only get to watch on youtube.

The Stig (there have been many Stigs) is more of a machine than a man.

So does the mean the C was chosen ahead of the new A4 by Top Gear, or was the A4 not included as yet?
