I'm sure it will come down to that in short order. ;D

I just saw the show over the weekend, so I don't think it's been posted previously. Lots of award stuff now though so it's difficult to keep strait sometimes.

I'm just joking, the categories and winners are similar to the AJAC testing is all.

I'd pay $56K for a Grand Cherokee before I would pay $43K for a Sorrento.

I was surprised to see the show last weekend.  Usually Motoring will put their choices up on their website so viewers can vote on their picks.  Then they compare the viewers choices to their choices when the show airs.  I always liked that way that worked.

I like their format. I get useful information out of their road tests. Something like Top Gear is fine for entertainment, but fairly useless from a consumer point of view. Depends on what a person wants I guess.
