I totally agree with that statement; and 1M is finishing the 2011 in glory, what a year that was!

I think we should get a thread that compiles all the different lists that the 1M is topping just to get some perspective as to how great this car actually is

I second that emotion with an emoticon.

I found it notable that the cars that made all three writers' lists included the A7, Sonic and Boss 302. Nonetheless it's nice to see our mutt win (yet another) best-in-show!

After (FINALLY) spending some real time with the car including a little blast on the Blue Ridge parkway, I'm starting to get a sense for what this lil beastie is about. Break-in service tomorrow. The full hornets nest will be unleashed forthwith!!!

That would be too long.

For a shorter list: a thread compiling all lists the 1M is not topping.

On that list, it beat out the runners up. Hyundai Accent, Kia Optima, and in second place... Chevrolet Sonic!

I'm seriously going to rent one of those the next time I get out of town. Unfortunately, it will be a slushbox and that probably kills the buzz.
