Hi James.

For that Modern Muscle category it is not fair to say the SRT-8 beat out the Caddy, as GM was unable to build one in time to get it to TestFest, so it was not evaluated.

COTY awards point system is askew IMO, as the amount of points given for styling/appearance etc are much too high for something that is a just a perception of ones opinion over anothers, which has no bearing whether a car is good or not good.
But the cargo space and interior marks do not seem to have as much priority scoring wise, as the point threshold is much lower.

When you read the statitics of how many people are influenced by this organizations testing ” 64.8% of all buyers* were influenced to purchase the car because it was the “Canadian Car of the Year�?.
47.5% of those buyers who were aware of the Canadian Car of the Year award said its purchase influence was “strong to extremely strong�?. I would think this organization could do a much better job evaluating cars on functionality, rather then styling and appearance.

The Civic Si beat out itself, eh? LOL.

The Azera is a surprise, not sure if I entirely agree with that one. Otherwise, fine picks. I imagine part of the Civic’s winning over the Z06 is the fact that you can push it to its limits somewhat more responsibly than the Corvette… nice numbers, but you’ll never be able to use it to its fullest potential short of a race track. The Civic is a different story…
