Evo Car of the Year - not good for BMW

[stealth.pilot]

M3/4 came in at 9th position.

458 Speciale wins. Jaguar F-Type R Coupe is second. My Jag went into production today and I can't wait for it to arrive - the reviews very much echo my own sentiments from the test drive.

And after almost 4 months of ownership I still smile ear to ear for the Jag has me elated.

Why McLaren 650S is in 6th place?

And the Cayman write-up if anyone is interested.

[M6-Coupe]

Oh 7th place... even worse!
BTW, thanks for post

[ColdList]

Dang, my MAC is a POS-lol!

Personally, I'd take the 650S over ANY car on that list-Speciale included. And I am about to do precisely that-again. These things are so subjective. Emotion-wise the Speciale obliterates EVERYTHING on that list. Sheer "wow this thing is so dang fast and nimble"-650S hands down. All around power, sound and luxury excitement-Jag (hoping to put my wife in one of these if she gets her obviously fuzzy head out of the Tesla fog). As for the rest, excepting the Cayman GTS and the M3...boring.

All in all, it comes down to what the individual wants. The whole ranking is subjective and this is patently obvious by the wide range of car types included in the comparison.

Drive a Speciale first before deciding. U might not be so sure after that. Speciale is significantly improved over the Italia. It's also way quick enough in the straights and faster everywhere else.

I don't track cars whatsoever and the 650S is way more than anyone would ever be able to push in terms of limits on the street. For my driving, and for most people, I like insane acceleration and that racy go-kart feel.

I am sure on the track the Speciale might be the most fun. Ferrari really just is not my car of choice these days. They have a lot of soul and that gets me. Gorgeous cars. Just not the driving performance that I want. Now the new M458T...well, that likely will be a different story.

I knew this one was coming lol
ColdList I admit you have a supercar and don't think this list says your car is POS! it's just ranking based on their criteria... I recall 2013 motor trend best driver's car ranked M6 the 10th place and Viper the 12th place out of 12 cars and Ford Focus placed on 11th position lol...

And we knew this was coming too --- I could have bought your car and more than that. I love my 458 and dont need to defend it everytime a mag picks another car over it.


I drove the Mac- didnt care for it at the time but maybe down the road if Im looking drop 40% of its value in year one.

Could have, should have...yeah yeah....

And you care about depreciation. Uh huh...I drive 'em for fun!

VVVVrrrrroooooooommmmmm!!!!!!

Don't be so sensitive. I am joking. I am not up in arms about some silly magazine shit. Are you kidding? C'mon.

For the record...I also love the 458. The same as you, I could have bought whatever but chose the one that was right for ME.

I think you read into my posts as too sensitive- I sit here with 80 degree weather and enjoy poking at you

LOL from an outsider looking in, they might think you are ever so slightly hyper emotional about your purchases. I dont care what you get only what I get. I dont care about depreciation but when its 6 figure depreciation its relatively relative LOL. Im driving the F car alot which is more than I can say for others and boy it sounds great. Its the best purchase carwise Ive made thus far... You are already going on your 2nd car

WRONG! 3rd car-lol!

That would honestly be an assessment that is wwwayyyyyy off though. I don't actually care as much about cars as anyone may think. They are sort of my fun thing right now. Used to be boats. I enjoy "driving" them not looking at them like most exotic car owners do. And I am the first to admit flaws with the ones I buy. Heck. look at the laundry list I posted. :-)

I too, as you know more than anyone, come on here for the humor and the fly swatting.

On that note..I need to check location but I have a pretty sneaky feeling that M6 Coupe is FTC.

[ColdList]

And magazine articles and Gustav videos...ha! They are a source of entertainment. Nothing more.

[ColdList]

So what do you make of this....http://cars.mclaren.com/home/latest/...I1Q65W,ANK7A,1

No chance M6 Coupe is FTC.... FTC has unique douche baggery signature all his own and M6 Coupe is a good guy who pokes as well

Oh yeah 3rd car but 2nd 650S--- doesnt that just drive you a bit nuts?

Yeah. I was poking at him since he jumped in.

Yes...and no. Sucks to have the issues. Always nice to pick up a new car even if it's only a slightly different flavor.

Hoping I'm not going from "Orange Lemon" to yellow one. I truly love the rush of these cars.
