Mustang Eco Boost was runner up, Lexus RCF in 3rd, and Hyundai Genesis came in 4th.

dafuq is the hellcat, that thing rules.

Wat. Mk7 GTI is MTCotY?

Can't wait to start bragging about that to all the people interested in GTIs here at the dealer.

I like the purple and yellow. Troy Vette is badass.

yes'th.

I would expect nothing less from a guy who drives a 90's Mustang Convertible.....

Also, it is too bad that winning car of the year will not help a GTI sell. Accolades do not translate into sells. Just ask all the cars that sell in mass numbers. They did not win car of the year. Most people who buy cars could give a shit what a magazine says, especially because they pick it because it has utility, solid performance and is packaged in a superior interior.

But it is a marketing point that can be used to sway people at the point of sale.

"But we were considering X..."

"Did you know that the GTI won Car of the Year from Motor Trend Magazine? It beat the X!"

I think it will help the GTI... they are already getting stellar sales #s compared to the previous gens.

That is faster and cheaper (especially with maintenance) than your new Krautmobile.

 

[mk6medic]

But you are right. I do not know what I am talking about. Except when it comes to poop.

Is it faster?

Shouldn't be too hard.

I can see it definitely helping in a case that Zaxxon mentioned, but most people are not going to make that trip to the VW dealer based solely on COTY.

Is it faster?

Easily. But what do I know? Nothing.

Really? Are you in the 4-500 hp range?
