2013 All-Stars - Automobile Magazine

Not surprised to see the choices in this article.

Boxster S. :yum:

Don't know why the Cayman didn't make it.

I have no idea whats going on in that article. My wife does love her CX-5 though. :tup: I even think it handles really well, until I get in the Z again.

As far as I know, you can still buy a 2004 1/2 350Z used in 2013. I have to call bullhockey on the article.

Love my GTI!! :) Head up to Wolfsburg if you come to Germany. The Autostadt is amazing and fun! Stay in the Autostadt at the Ritz-Carlton right on site.

What is the hype with the BR FR? Its overpriced and under powered. The GTI is kind of suffering from the same problems. You can get a WRX for the price of a GTI and a STI for the price of a well equipped GTI. Who here can honestly say a GTI is a better performer then a WRX?

Performer, sure, but the GTI is a hell of a lot nicer inside than the WRX.

Okay cool it has a nicer interior. But that's why it should be a 2013 All Star? It has not changed drastically since they introduced the 2.0T several years ago its not fast and its not cheap. If the car fell in the price range of Civic SI's or the now dead SE-R Sentra then yea it would be a cool car but starting at $24,795 for a 4 door and topping out around $28K its a silly car.

German engineering, yo.

Is this the first time you've noticed how car mags are always hyping the GTi?

Yea I know. Just getting old.

As a rule of thumb, in a magazine test of any type of vehicle, the GTi will always make the list. Compact car- GTi. Supercar- GTi. Dually trucks- GTi. VAG gives generously to their ad revenue.

+1 for not understanding why anyone stills gives a **** about the GTI...

//And a Z obviously

I was surprised the Focus ST did so well against the 2012 GTI in comparisons. They actually allowed it to win a few comparos. But now that the 2013 GT is out it's back on VW's d1ck. :roflpuke2:
