    I bet the Schwarzenneger Special Edition has Tesla coils equipped as standard.

    Now that is a green car I can love, with plenty of rubber, of course.

    @skaycog: Those headlights look awesome, but the stupid grill. So hideous, including the rims.
    Maybe they wanted to make it clearly this ain't your ordinary R8.

    What's the difference between the GTI and the GLI? I thought the GLI was the 4 door, the GTI the 2 door. #vwgti

    It's certainly a neat car and VW does a very nice job with overall feel, design, quality and use of materials. I think Japanese cars in the GTI's range have gotten rather ugly in their desperate attempt to stand out. And the quality of materials used inside has declined over the past decade or two.

    But to call it Automobile of the Year seems to be overrated to me. I suppose the GTI is more relevant in Europe than it is in the US, hence the award. #vwgti

    Car & Driver just ranked the GTI over the MS3 as well, even with the power deficit. The only thing that would make me hesitant about the GTI is VW's reliability issues that were resounding a few years back. I'm not sure if those are resolved yet. #vwgti

    @Jeb_Hoge: 73,000 miles with only gas and oil. I've found my 07 reasonably reliable.

    The local Mazda shop couldn't be bothered to provide a test drive.

    The absence of torque steer despite all the midrange pull makes a compelling case for the GTI. #vwgti

    I was still in the midst of my misspent youth as an automotive journalist when the Mk5 came out, and when I opined that the Mazda/Speed3 was better looking and had better steering feel and the only reason why everyone was so ga-ga over the Golf/GTI was due to leather/high-end plastics poisoning, I might as well have had bats flying out of my ears. You can't go wrong with either, but man, they're acting like this thing is the best thing since...since the MK1? C'mon. #vwgti

    They also neglected to mention that the four Euro contenders had their V8s removed and replaced with 1.6 litre diesels from the VW Camper Van.
