With a total of only 5k votes, I doubt there are many 'script kiddies' voting....yet. If by tomorrow that poll jumps to like 15k votes, then I would be suspect!

How quickly do you think the webserver can be hit with out causing a DOS? And if your able to do a moderate 10 votes per minute, it takes a while..

FWIW....

Here's the dirty 15 minute script..

:START
DEL // Cookie
START IEXPLORE // Vote
delay -T7 "Waiting for" "Vote" "To Register"
TASKKILL // Close IE
GOTO START

// I'm not sure I should post that so I've removed some innards.

Too many kiddies to possibly start scripting with it..

People who don't drive r32s.
I don't think the R32 deserves to be in the company of the STi and Evo 8. Like all VAG products, the R32 has numb steering, overboosted brakes, and understeers like crazy. Not my idea of a good time.

I can't imagine who would buy one of these things. If you want luxury and don't care about handling and feel...get an S4.

Nicely said, though the STi is no equal to the EVO

Maybe not, but the STi and Evo are much more similar to each other than either one is to the VW R32.

I think the ones that should vote are ones that have at least driven each of these cars and not base it on what other people in magazines have said about them, in that case I believe the results would be slightly different.

I haven't seen an R32 yet even on a dealer lot, and none I know has purchased one.. Even the die hard volkswagon folks are not that wowed... They are also a litttle peaved about the Toureg... Oh well.. Hopefully I'll get an oppurtunity to take an R32 for a spin, hopefully on track just to see. Nothing beats driving a car to really find out if it has what counts.. On Paper many cars are decieving about their spirit..

Between the 3 cars at hand, the r32 is my vote for the best all around car. You get:

- adequate power
- awd
- decent/dare I say GOOD handling
- heated seats
- leather
- seating for 4
- stunnin' looks
- great exhaust note

You know I bought an evo because it's an evo. I didn't buy an STi because it's an STi. I didn't buy an R32 because it is an R32. I know what car _I_ like, but I think overall the R32 trumps both the STi and Evo in other areas such as refinement and overall comfort. That's all I'm sayine.

Seating for 4? uh midgets maybe? Specs show that the legroom to be more like a 2 + 0.2. It says it can seat 5.. right.. 2 door 5 seater...

Well the numbers sure have changed since yesterday:

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution-55%
Subaru Impreza WRX STi-36%
Volkswagen R32-9%

TOTAL ENTRIES: 8857

I don't see how a VW can be the best all-around anything, my 2¢ anyway.

I agree with webguy330i. I think the R32 is the best "all-aound" car of the 3. I've driven all 3. I would not even think of trading my Evo for an R32... no way. The Evo is better for ME. But the R32 is just a nicer car, more compromised, not so hardcore. And a Honda Accord is an even BETTER all round car... I wouldn't buy one if my life depended on it... but its still a better all round car.
