I believe this North American blah blah blah award will come down to popularity, price, performance, value, ride & drive. The winner will be the Pontiac G8.

Out of all of those choices, I'd go with the XF. Supercharged, please...

However, I think the winner will end up going to the G8 >/or GTR.

I voted for Nissan GT-R, as it is my number one favorite car.

Among the contenders, here is the ranking of the ones I like:

1. Nissan GT-R
2. Audi A4
3. Honda Fit
4. BMW 1-series
5. Dodge Challenger
6. Jaguar XF
7. Cadillac CTS-V
8. Hyundai Genesis
9. Mazda 6

I don't like the rest.

I voted that they will select the Mazda 6.

I think it shows good improvement over the previous model and it’s nicely styled and optioned.

Now, IF I was asked which one of these cars I would pick and spend my own hard earned money on, I'd pick the Audi A4 in a heartbeat

I agree 100% with your logic, but my math was different. I think they pick the Genesis for the value.

Me, the GT-R is king!

i don't think the Genesis will win unless it had a better engine.
