-----The orginal Mr.Goodwrench on the JBO since 11/99-----
any bets on it being a import that gets picked
Land Cruiser by virtue of the fact that it's the only actual truck on the list. All the rest are glorified FWD-based AWD unibody station wagons.
1989 Z24 Convertible - Dust Covered
2006 tC - Dust Covered, but driven more
I'll go with the Veracruz, heard nothing but praise of that SUV thus far.
I'd go with either the Mazda or the Nissan. That Mazda is pretty sexy looking

I'll agree with you based on that alone. The press can't shut up about it. But that enclave is no joke, it's one of the best products GM has out right now.

Enclave. I was in one @ the dealership and @!#$ wow. Pure brilliance.
My Cav
I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"
I'd love to see the Enclave win, but most likely it won't. They'll find something to complain about, apparantly they get terrible fuel mileage for what they are.
Something tells me Veracruz or the Highlander will win.
Toyota has been dumping a TON of money lately into MT.
What the hell is a nissan rouge??? Man how did I not notice a new SUV!??! *goes off to research*
am I not on the right page.....but where the hell is the ford exploder or the trailblazer?

Those so naive, so hard headed, so narcissistic, that think that buy their own efforts can single handedly change the world, are always the ones that do.

They are not there because if they didn't win last year, and the models have not changed or been upgraded, then they won't win this year either, so the list only includes things that won last year, and new models. Correct me if I am wrong.
Its new models period... if it won last year it can't win again this year.

That's right, I was thinking of Car and Driver's ten best.
Ah, the wild card.
I just assumed since it was so much like the CX-6 they'd just dismiss it. I'm fairly suprised it beat the Enclave, it seems every magazine and automotive anything is giving it awards and praise.

i was thinking the VUE might stand a chance, i really liked the one i took out, felt like driving a car it handled and rode very well.
