I’d expect nothing less from a $75k Camaro with no A/C. 🙂 That amazing looking Alfa is $6k less and the M4 is only $10k more. :lol: ---

I’m never really all that trustworthy of these magazine reviews. They’re full of biased reviews. Good on GM though for getting some accolades. ---

I really like that Alfa. The Camaro is awesome too but give it a few years to depreciate. ---

Does this include every make/model available or… just ones advertised in Motor Trend? ---

Just to hump the alfa even more- lets talk about a car company that refuses to put power steering in a car in 2014. I love it. ---

I was less surprised with the Camaro being first than a number of the other cars on the list. ---

@bige has a regular fiesta and I love driving it… I can only imagine what the st has to be like. the fiesta honestly reminds me of a mk2 gti, as far as power and road feel goes. Just a lot less rattley and with nice creature comforts (Bluetooth, cruise and such) ---

Maro z28 and an M4 in my garage at my office and the only reason I could see buying the z28 is limited production and residual values. The M4 looks great. Granted I have only driven a new 335 and Maro SS so I don’t think I have tasted either companies best but the Maro was a dog. ---
