I hadn't thought about that "Car of the Year" idea, but that makes perfect sense! If it's not, it should be. We soon to be, or eventually hope to be, smart owners are all a part of a major paradigm shift in the automotive world, and it's about time. Like Tom and Ray say, "Live larger, drive smaller".
