I agree with the choice of the Bugatti. It power is unmatched and is in a class all to itself.

It probably got to everyone's head after being featured on Top Gear and being on the entire car show circuit this year.

No other car in recent memory has changed the game like the Veyron. Nothing else comes close. It is a worthy winner.

There are cars I'd have placed ahead of the SLS for their car of the year, but the Veyron is the right choice in their car of the decade category.

It does deserve to win. No doubt. No matter how rich I got I wouldn't buy one, but I couldn't deny it deserves to win.

+1 .... I don't get that choice at all. I don't think it'll go down in history as a classic, more of a flop.

Which Alpina ? Saying it shoulda been the Alpina is like saying it should have been the Mercedes or the BMW.
