Soul car of the year

MachinesWithSouls · 12-20-2022, 07:04 AM

If you’ve followed along this year, you know I’ve had the joy of driving many many cars. As 2022 comes to a close, I wanted to highlight which ones really left an impression on me.

Of course, given the amount of BMWs I come across, the brand has its own spot.

Thank you for all the support this year in the forums!

Great article! Looks like you have a type, although who could blame you. Supercharged V8’s, especially ones that sound fantastic like the ones from GM and JLR are quite hard to come by these days.

Hard to beat the Jag at normal speeds on public roads. I almost bought that car instead of my OG M2. Happy with my choice though.

While I don’t disagree with the list, I am surprised no Porsche was on there. But maybe that was the point. I really adore my 718 GTS 4.0 and feel it is a wonderful example of a sports car done right.

I can only rate the cars I had throughout the year, and in ‘22, I only had a Taycan from Porsche.

I’ve no doubt that GTS is wonderful

I have a type, an F-TYPE!!

Sorry. Yes you’re right but to be fair, I don’t think I had a light car, aside from the Vette.
