To be honest, it's a tough choice........there are a LOT of nice mid-sized cars in that poll (though the Kizashi and Lexus IS are probably more compact then mid-size). There is, of course, some junk, too..........like the Avenger. The Mitsubishi "Gallant" is misspelled. And they also didn't get the Sebring label correct .....it's a Chrysler badge, not a Dodge.


Autoweek, BTW, used to print a LOT of my comments........both in Fast-Poll and in the Letters department (I was a regular reader but not a paid subscriber). That was before I joined CL and CAR CHAT, of course.
Jeez this thing had a ton of errors!!

Yes, I don't remember Autoweek having goofs like that many years ago, when I used to read it every week....and send in comments. They were an excellent publication....and, unlike R&T, C&D, Motor Trend, Automobile, etc..... came out weekly instead of monthly.

Of course, to be honest, I occasionally slip up and make a typo or two myself.

Magazine polls are crap, generally ignored.

A big factor, of course, behind that, is the growth of Internet auto forums like our own right here, where we sometimes do our own polls.
