Our 2012 HCOTY field of nominees was vast and varied, and I’m happy to report that every nominee received at least a few votes. A few vehicles, however, rose up to become the clear favorites, but two of those took off from the rest of the group. It was a back and forth battle for…

comments
That would be noon where I am. As in about 2.5 hours from now. As of right now, it looks like The Beast has opened up a bit of a lead over the Basement Lambo, but maybe the Lutz has an army of haxx0rs waiting in the wings, ready to bombard our servers with G8…

In our typical making-it-up-as-we-go fashion, we kinda kicked off the whole Hooniversal Car of the Year on a whim and never decided who’d wrap it all up. I just checked the post queue, and it appears no one else is, so here we go. Jump!

comments
For most of the period between the end World War II and the Late Malaise Era, the full-size, body-on-frame (or primitive unibody), live-rear-axle, V8-powered sedan was the standard, middle-of-the-mainstream American motor vehicle.

HCOTY Nominee: ’67 Jaguair Nominated by: Han Solex As Seen in the Post: This Corvair Has a Secret, and it Ain’t Vicious Oversteer Rarely has a bone-stock-looking sleeper concealed such audaciousness.

HCOTY Nominee: Pontiac G8 GXP Nominated by: Tomsk As seen being fawned over by the buff books, car blogs and a funny looking test pattern “Motorweek,” as well as (briefly) sitting on dealer lots. As a famous electric Lincoln driver and occasional balladeer once sang, “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” Sadly,…
