I voted! Sort of. I stole my wife's computer while she was talking on the phone.

Hey, the Cabrio is in good company. Except for the Kia.

How long do we have to cast votes??
Better get to work. I mean voting!

Kia! Acckksppfft!

How they ever decided to list a Kia in the same competition with Maserati, Lotus, Mercedez, MINI, etc. is beyond me !

Probably a big advertiser at R&T

Aloha!

Kia????!!!!

Boy, if the Kia wins I can just imagine the entire R&T publication parking lot filling up with torked and upset Euro Tuners and Luxers !

MINI owners are much too refined for that kind of oafish behavior

Aloha!

Amen to that.

Is that Oafish or Oarfish?

That's kinda bizarre!

Oarfish and KIA geneticly compatable

I'd vote for the oarfish. Probably gets better mileage ! Gawd, I'm probably just asking to get dumped on by a Kia pilot!
