Re: EVO car of the year

Why is the Renaultsport Megane R26R in both categories (everyday and supercars)?

Price is everday and performance is supercar?

Re: EVO car of the year

No one will consider a Megane whatever the performance, if this person can afford to choose any of the other cars in the "supercar" category.

Its inclusion is another sign of the eccentricity of british car magazines and their big effort to shock and impress with the controversial and the unusual.

As regards the GT-R it is "compulsory" anyway to vote for this car in the UK this year, so EVO follow the trend. Not even worth discussing IMO.

Then Gauss' Elise and my BoxsterS are supercars also Smiley - actually they are.... Smiley

The EVO jury must consist of some tough cookies if they assess the Caterham R500 as an "everyday car" Smiley

This list sems quite weird to me (without knowing the underlying parameters for the ranking just as useful as those "who's the hottest Bond girl" rankings) Smiley Maybe we all understand better once the printed issue is out.

Winning the "real cars" comparison gave the Megane the right to fight with the big boys.

Re: EVO car of the year

They said the R500 would have come first easily if it was an all new car. Seems a bit unfair to me.
