SURPRISE! Autocar Readers Pick The Car Of The Decade AND Its Not The Veyron OR GT-R

Autocar readers have chosen the Range Rover as their Car of the Decade.

Autocar’s resident car experts nominated and championed 17 great cars launched during the past ten years for readers to choose from – or voters could suggest their own star car.

Of more than 7500 votes, some 18 per cent - nearly a fifth - were for the Range Rover, a car launched in 2001 to widespread acclaim.

“The Range Rover is a fine choice for Car of the Decade,” said Autocar editor Chas Hallett. “Most polls like this have results skewed towards the latter end of their timescale, but not this one. That the Range Rover was launched nine years ago yet remains a benchmark speaks volumes for the brilliance of its design – and for the taste of the people who voted for it...

My sister-in-law seems to never have trouble with her Range(Knock on wood)... Perhaps she's a lucky one...

So what exactly does a vehicle have to do to get to be car of the decade?

1) It should not be a car, but an unwieldy tractor with a roof.
2) It should get abysmal fuel economy.
3) It should have equally abysmal reliability and build quality.
4) It should be sold at prices that a mere fraction of it's home market can afford to pay.
5) It should have a corporate owner that recently sold it's marque off in order to make ends meet.

Car of the Decade indeed. Gimme a frigging break...

While I like the Range Rover I think cars like the Veyron should be the car of the decade. It`s an engineers dream come true. Cars like the Zonda F, Enzo, Carrera Gt, SLR all deserve to be runner ups too. This past decade has been the bests in automotive history. Never have we seen such competition. It`s healthy for the industry.
