Hello all - at the end of the year, as we look back, I think we can say that all-in-all it's been a pretty good year for cars and all the new models that manufacturers have introduced.

So - let's share a few things with each other:

1. Favorite new car (has to be introduced in the past 12 months) - I like the Dodge Charger. :bravo:

2. Favorite auto show - Top Gear out of the UK gets my nod. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are by far the funniest and most educated in the business (you can watch a Boxing Day Marathon Dec 26th from 2pm to 9pm on BBC Canada - woohoo!). And how about the concept of the Celebrity Lap challenge where notable celebrities (mostly UK and US) run against each other on a timed course in a Suzuki Liana (think Aerio sedan) - which results in some of the best reality TV you will ever see anywhere. :rotation:

3. Fav auto site - well, to be honest, I would say that Auto 1-2-3 gets the most hits from me in any given day. Canadian Driver and Edmunds Inside Line tied for second place and several others tied for third (New Car Test Drive, cars.com, Autoblog, etc.). :nice:

Ok folks - chime on in yourselves - I'd love to see your feedback.

And as we close off the year - let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - or joyous holiday period - whichever suits you the best.
:jester:

OK, here I go:

1- I can't choose... Mazda MX-5, BMW 3-series, Charger, ...

2- Top Gear is GREAT! I don't really watch any other car show.

3- I have to preach for my own "Paroisse". We work damn hard to be on top of things and bring our readers all the latest info and great road tests and videos. Soon, we will even have a magasine. :twisted:

woohoo!

hmm...

fav car: There's too many great new cars, and a helluva that I haven't tried yet, but I'd say that I agree with the Charger.

fav TV show: I don't really have time to watch TV.

fav website: That's a no-brainer. ehehhe
