A year ago AOL Autos selected its first ever Car of the Year , naming the Audi A7 for the first-year honor. This year, our editors have voted, and the winner is a very different kind of car.
AOL Autos editors drive pretty much every new car that comes along. Of course, we are not the only outlet choosing "Cars of the Year." Motor Trend and Automobile Magazines each surprised readers and the industry by naming the all-electric Tesla Model S Car of the Year .
Our editors did not have the Model S in our consideration set for the simple reason that not enough of our editors have been able to drive it. It is an exceptionally good car,and those of us who have been able to test drive it would stack it up against any gasoline-powered car for sheer fun and performance.
But having eliminated the Model S from our consideration (and let's face it, very few people are going to actually consider this car), we did come up with a very solid list of top five, with just one winning the top honor.
Each editor chose three cars they thought worthy of the honor, ranking them first, second and third based on preference. Every car that got ranked third, earned one point. Each that was ranked second got two points. And those that were rated first got three points.
Check out how the new cars fared, counting down from No. 5 to No. 1.
