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!

HCOTY Nominee: Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
/

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.

Call it what you want, but yes – we are posting a car of our own creation here for nomination. However, this wasn’t our idea really – it was yours. Numerous comments and a few emails suggesting our LeMons racer can no longer go unheeded… So I submit our beloved Uberbird for consideration as a…

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,…
