Car of the Decade!?

[ironchef]

In all seriousness, I would have to go with the C6 Corvette Z06. It has the power, performance and luxury of a $200,000+ supercar but cost less than $100,000.

What luxury? The Z06 is not luxurious in the slightest.

This will be/is going to be a terrible thread.

Agreed.

Best USDM Car of the decade?

Nissan GT-R

In the somewhat reasonable/affordable price range the GT-R takes the cake.

I have to agree, not as a fanboy but because all of the talk swarming around it before and after the release. When something garners pages upon pages of discussion and debate, it is obviously doing something right and I don't think there is another car out there this decade that kept the industry talking like the GT-R.

That said I'd save some pennies and get an R8 instead.

I'd get the R8 instead as well.

Actually most those discussions where on what a disappointment that car was. Plus a few pages about all the Lawsuits against Nissan for the Warrenty on the car, then others laughing at how it got drug around the ring by the Z06, ZR1 AND the ACR.

How was the car a disappointment? It was highly lauded by virtually every single member of the automotive world, not to mention all the fanboys.

Back to the original question though. I'd have to agree with the Veyron.

There is no other car with such a level of refinement, performance, spectacle, exclusivity, and notoriety.
