evo Car of the Year 2023

So here is the list.

1st. Porsche 992 911 GT3 RS
2nd. Alpine A110R
3rd. McLaren 750S
4th. Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato
5th. Honda Civic Type R
6th. BMW G80 M3 CS
7th. Porsche 992 911 Carrera T
8th. Aston Martin DB12
9th. Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo

They also state the reasons why some cars like the Spyder RS and BMW G87 were absent from the event AND to be honest i didn't expect that following Chris Harris review.

''The M2 was debated long and hard, but ultimately while it's a cracking all-rounder, is it podium contender? No, sorry M2 owners.''

Also , amazed by how good the Honda Civic Type R is.

Geez, the GT Trofeo even came on the board that the M2 couldn't? Can't say I've driven one but that's gotta hurt

I think BMW can learn a lot from Honda’s success here - they dialed back the radical design, and focused more on simplicity and the driver experience that we all want from pure driver’s cars. Ironic to me how BMW has been going more down the Japanese road lately while many of the Japanese OEMs dial it back and focus more on what got them to where they were in the first place. This Honda is a perfect example of that, but also look at some of the newer Toyota models and designs, going back to their roots (check out the new Land Cruiser)…BMW is going in the wrong direction in my personal opinion, in both design and experience, and the biggest fear I have is that it will be too late to pivot (like Honda did here) for one last drivers focused generation before everything is EV / more autonomous…so be it! If I had an unlimited budget, I’d buy an E30E36//E46/E90 right now and tuck them away so me and my family could always have that experience no matter what happens from here, I truly see the end of an era…
