  1. Kia sorento is car of the year. Really?

    • I think this is valid. If you look at the categories…

      Car of the year for the jury is the mustang
      Car of the year for the masses is the Kia Sorento.

      Its like dream car vs what you can actually buy.

      Not that Sorento is bad…I think it is a well made car.

  2. “Compact” Executive Sedan- Jaguar XE. What?

  3. Jury Car of the Year: Ford Mustang. Wow! It’s a pleasure to drive car of the year.

  4. As per the MECOTY website jury Car of the Year is Sorento and public car of the year decided by voting is Mustang! In this article it’s given the other way.

  5. Surprised that Mercedes-Benz C200 isn’t there in the list.

  6. What about the Hellcat???

  7. Is the Kia Sorento a good buy?
