| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 Surely it's the GT-R once again? It does set some amazing benchmarks for the price.

| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 Didn't the GT-R participate last year? If not it's gonna be the winner or else the GT2. None of the other cars on the list stand out in terms of performance. |

| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 Gallardo LP560-4 "It's a superversion of the R8" (which was a "winner" last year?) So I'll give my vote to Lamborghini..

| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 GTR gets my vote. It defied physics and changed the performance paradigm like no other car in that list. |

| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 Rs6 hands down! If you put it in perspective...It's an avant and a heavy car with 570bhp and 0-60 of 4.7 secs

| Re: CAR MAGAZINE - Performance Car of the Year 2008 I think they will give it to the Nissan GTR, mostly for the price reason... I drove the SL63, and that is one brutal performance car, I loved it ...
