We love horsepower, naturally. And responsive handling--the more gs, the more grins here at Motor Trend HQ. Sexy sheetmetal? Always gets our attention. We've never denied our affinity for luxurious amenities, either.
Above all, though, we are admirers of brilliant design and engineering. Which is to say, design and engineering that advance the state of the automotive art without forcing users to relearn what they already know about the automobile. Having completed weeks of testing and over-the-road evaluations, our editors agree that, in this year's highly diverse and competitive field, one entry shines more brilliantly than any other. The all-new Toyota Prius, a roomy, feature-packed, and user-friendly gas/electric hybrid capable of delivering an astonishing 60 miles per gallon in city driving, is the 2004 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
You're just jaded from all those hot international sexy model bodies you have gotten used too.<g>
Also my friend who is a senior editor over at PC World , routinely drives his up and down the coast 600+mis between SF and northern Calif , and he loves it. It is an elegant little machine, blending both worlds very nicely.
Now the Azteca (body-type of Newt Gingrich) , that is one ugly car...simply scared the wits out of me the first time I walked by one , staring in disbelief <G>
Go Toyota ! |
