I don't get this car of the year. EVO gives BMW M2 CS the first place and you give it the last. MotorTrend says it is Lambo EVO that is the best and for you it is not even in top 3. Also, if you like this Ariel quadbike so much rename yourself as Autobike. Ariel should get 0 points on the road from all the judges. It is not a road going car.

The think is, 99% of the time you are driving any of these cars, you are on public roads. It's why the GR Yaris is top dog, all the others are waaaaay overpowered for public roads.

What a shock--they gave it to the British car, even though it's a race day toy that couldn't be your only motor. At least they didn't award it to the Land Rover Defender somehow.

Is the M2 CS worth the extra $25k over a standard M2? (Also, can you get the standard M2 with a stick/all wheel drive combo.

Funny as BMW M2CS won EVO car of the year trophy compared to last place here. And both magazines are testing track and road.

You said the Taycan has no gears to worry about but it-s a 2 gear car? I hope you were talking about shifting through gears?
