Volkswagen GTI named Automobile Magazine's Car of the Year

It comes to no surprise that the new VW Sirocco designed GTI has won Automobile car of the year. Ever since the GTI was introduced it has been scooping up awards, it is easy to see why it is a proper hot hatch. What I mean by hot hatch it that the car looks modern and cool, it is properly fast and can handle really well. The fact is the new one is no different it uses the same recipe that has always worked for the GTI, they made it a cool car like it has always been. The recipe has been spiced up through through the years and it has only gotten better and better.

I think one of the reasons why it is doing so well is because no one else can make a proper hot hatch. In Canada we have the Mazda 3 that is completely made out of plastic and flonts it like its carbon fiber. Then their is the Honda Fit, which is a truly dreadful car that looks like it should be driven by the elderly. Toyota has the Yaris which is much to small, not fast and cheaply made. I mean the whole hot hatch market is run by the GTI.

I mean someone must stand up to that thing my brother calls car and design a good hatch. They need to get a seven year old designer to draw fins and scoops, then give it to a proper engineer who can made it go a million miles an hour and make go around turns like its on fire. That would be my ultimate hot hatch and sadly no body seems to get the recipe correct. Its too bad because some of the funnest cars to drive are hot hatchbacks.
