Hi guys!

It was a busy year in the automotive media, so my question is difficult: which 5 was your favorite/most important car test or comparison this year -and why?

My Top 5 (I know, all German...)

5th place: Sport Auto's first test of the new Ford Focus RS. It's always a big one for me when Sport Auto takes a long-awaited car on the Hockenheimring for the first time. Overall rating was very good for the car.

4th place: Sport Auto's test of the Porsche 911 R. Christian Gebhart took this 'last-of-the-rockstars' to the wonderful roads of Colle de Nivolet. Beautiful scenery, fantastic pictures and a great article!

3rd place: Honda NSX first test in Auto Motor und Sport. Very high rating for one of my greatest stars of 2016.

2nd place: AutoBild Sportscars' Supertest of the McLaren 675LT. Out-of-this-world performance and a very thorough test.

1st place: No question for me. Great article, nice pictures and a lot of test data. Driving both cars on the record-breaking day, paralell with the VW-driver is a big thing. Also, the Clubsport is my favorite newcomer of 2016.

Same for me, Clubsport is unbeatable value for money, chasis made with help of Porsche.

Thanks @DeDe for providing us GCF members with such interesting roadtest/comparisons all year, its a really tough one for me cause there have been so many great cars this year. McLaren 675LT together with Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Mercedes AMG GT R must rank as some of my favorite cars this year.
