Agree except in a few categories

Best value should go to Mazda3
Versatility should go to Toyota Sienna AWD – seats 7 AND their stuff plus AWD
Fun to drive – cheap is Miata, expensive is Audi R8
Off road – cheap is Wrangler and expensive is Mercedes G-Klasse
Luxury – Audi A8 or Mercedes SL (your 335d is ENTRY luxury)
Workhorse – close between the Ford E/Chevy Express and Dodge Sprinter – edge to Dodge
Ford Transit is wimpy at best – inline with HHR cargo

The Pontiac G8 looks too conservative. The Camaro has a more youthful and playful look.

I would not have picked the Genesis Coupe as 'fun-to-drive.' The Miata beats it hand down. 'Off-road-capability' should have gone to the Wrangler Rubicon or Mercedes G-class. "Work-horse' should have gone to the Dodge Sprinter. The Ford Transit is for light duty work. 'Luxury' should have gone to the Lexus LS/Mercedes S/BMW 7-series trio.

Of course, unless all these categories have a price tag limitation ....

Well the new Camaro does look different but personally I would not say it is award winning. I actually like the Pontiac G8 better then the Camaro looks wise, and they are both built on the same platform.
