I can't believe the Colt got nominated, and on top of that it's getting so many votes. IT'S A CRAPPY RE-STYLING OF A CRAPPY CAR PEOPLE!!! Geeez...

Yep, the Colt getting nominated is comical. None of those cars really inspire. They are either derivative or way to expensive for what they are. I'd probably give the 370Z my vote but that hardly seems to address the challenges facing the auto industry.

The colt is a restyling of a smart for4 so probably had alot of money spent on it's chassis. And altough it's fwd it's not exactly dull, the top end ralliart model will keep up with a mk5 golf gti. Even tho it costs and £10,000 less!

I don't think that the 150 hp colt will get close to the Golf on track. But still, the Golf mk5 GTI isn't close to be the reference. The good old Honda Civic Type-R EP3 was pretty much faster and is still pretty much faste than the Golf mk6 GTI.

I can't believe that that Porsche Pain-a-mera got almost 10% already, some voters are nuts.

WorldCarFans.com... don't get me wrong, I mean I love you guys, visit you 10 times a day, but this kind of an award thingy.... isn't it a bit proposturous? I mean common.... leave the nominations and awards to journalists.

The 370z and Z4 are the only ones worth voting for. The rest are just downright boring.

I go for the Disco, just because it have Jag's great sounding V8 and it's the best looking for me. The Z4 is softer than I expected. I hate the 370Z lights. We all hate the ugly Panamera and it's not a proper Porsche if you don't spec it with the Chrono Sport Pack.

I really can't see the point in voting for any of these cars as I've not driven any of them. Some of which I'd like to. Others I'd pass :)

I find it vaguely amusing that both the German and Italian flags concede the place at the top for the English flag..
