BMW M2C...world car of the year?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I am a owner of a OG-M2, but came across this article and I thought I would share.

https://www.motor1.com/news/266330/2...ers-announced/

Here is the competition (no pun intended)

World Performance Car of the Year
Aston Martin Vantage
BMW M2 Competition
Hyundai Veloster N
Kia Ceed GT
McLaren 720S

I wonder what criteria do they use? Take into account $$? Probably not. I usually use motor1.com for a lot of my news, It seems this award is hosted by them..couldn't find details though. But very cool to see the bimmer up against a Aston and McLaren! Thoughts? #longLiveOGM2

Doesn't matter what criteria is used, they lost me at Hyundai/Kia.

You serious?

The Hyundai Veloster N project was initiated and ran by the former head of BMW M division, Albert Biermann...the guy who gave the world the modern M classic, the 1M

He also gave us the F80, F10 M5, numb steering, and zero rear axle traction. He's just a manager.
