Toyota Prius, as much as I hate to admit it.

2. Car of the Decade for Well Off Folk (under $100K)

Nissan GT-R

3. Car of the Decade for Rich Folk (over $100K)

F430 Scuderia - offered Enzo caliber performance for <1/3 of the price.

4. Most Unappreciated Car of the Decade

VW Phaeton

5. Most Unloved Car of the Decade

Was the Aztec in this decade?

6. Most Desirable Car of the Decade

IMO, Ford GT. Exceptional performance, fantastic styling, and, IIRC, it was relatively reasonably-priced.

7. Most Overrated Car of the Decade

Solstice/Sky. It was hyped to all hell before the launch and never lived up.

8. Most Underrated Car of the Decade

Possibly. IIRC, we didn't have categories, but rather just asked for a few nominations.

You guys know that this is the nomination thread - In other words, you don't have to vote for what's listed.
