Car Guide Bronze: What happend to the COTY Gold?

[brad]

Let's see;

1982 - JB Camira
1985 - Mitsubishi Magna

To name just two years. I'd rather drive a good car than a COTY winner thank you very much.

There is far too much fanboy teeth gnashing around here at times. You guys made rational decisions be adults and live in the knowledge that you don't need other people to tell you what car to buy and go out and enjoy your cars.

IIRC, Leyland Marina & Chrysler Centura won when I was running around in shorts. Neither were ever a good car no matter what criteria you looked at. A few other abortions such as P76 (great car, crap build quality) were also "Cars of the Year". Lets face it, few of these journalists put there money where there mouth is & opt for long term ownership.

I know I have a great car, anyone that's taken the time to drive it is impressed. Of the ~27 cars I've owned & the other ~14 that the wife has had, it's up there in the top 5 (and I'm sure the other 4 wouldn't be as good as their memory if I revisited them)
