Motor Trend has kicked off judging for the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year. The major automotive magazine is hanging out in Mojave, California at the Hyundai/Kia testing facility with 17 contenders that are undergoing performance and other evaluations.

Motor Trend points out that the Car of the Year is not a comparison test. The publication does not look at vehicles that have been on sale for the past 5 years and looks at three main things when evaluating a car: Superiority (engineering), Significance (usability) and Value (how it compares to rivals). Head over to Motor Trend to learn more about the evaluation process.

While Motor Trend finishes up their testing, we’re wondering what car you think deserves the title for the 2009 Car of the Year. Vote in the poll below and head over to the comments section after the jump if you have something more to say.

    GTR ftw!!!
    Where's the evo 10???

  • mark

    Nissan GTR should win hands down!!!!!!

  • Minilla

    The Genesis may be a bargain against luxury brands but it's still not a very practical car. The GTR does not exactly meet the bargain or practicality requirements either.

    The Fit/Corolla would be a good choice in today's market but they definitely lack that excitement value.
