Romneys "Loser" wins Car of the Year
Those lefty, Democratic shills over at Motor Trend have just awarded the Car of the Year award to the Tesla Model S. Romney, the guy who lost the election, referred to Tesla as a "loser" since they had received government funding to develop their cars.

Bravo to Elon Musk and the fine folks at Tesla. Best way in the world to give a big FU to Mr. Romney.

Great, his space program is pretty cool too.
It doesn't get much better than a big FU.

Tesla makes some sweet vehicles. Now, if they could just get the price down to something manageable.

It should be 'Car of the Year - for rich people'

Like anything else, new technology is always expensive. And unlike economics, technology does eventually trickle down to the poor folks.

Republicans should love it. The ideal car for the 1%.

Some other cars that attained this lofty status:

The 2002 Ford Thunderbird.

The PT Cruiser.

The Chrysler Cirrus.

The 1990 Town Car

The AMC/Renault Alliance!

The Citation??!

The Dodge Aspen.

The Ford Mustang II?

The Vega.

Goodness, it's fun second guessing people

Prices for the Tesla S start at about the same price as a 5-Series BMW or an E Class Mercedes.

And you don't get a $7,500 tax credit for those.

What was the competition this year?

My recollection is that a car needs to be all-new or a redesign to be elegible for Car of the Year.
