In addition, AJAC introduced a brand new award for a "truly exceptional vehicle that sets new standards". Conspiracy theorists may assume that the inaugural AJAC "Most Coveted Vehicle Award" went to the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 because of it losing out to the Civic in its own category. (HmmmS) But the Car-Most-Likely-to-End-Up-As-A-Poster-On-My-Bedroom-Wall has to be the Lamborghini Murcielago.
