You expect WAY too much from the everyday man :wink:. (And I use "man" in the gender-neutral sort of way).

I'd think Motortrend would be the other big one.What are the other big awards to aim for? I don't know the North American market that well to know if the Yahoo or Automobile awards are a big deal or not.
I'm not at all surprised at the ignorant vitriol in the Yahoo comments, that is consistently among the stupidest collection of posters on the internet. I would've expected a little better of Automobile's readership. The knee-jerk hatred of EVs reminds me of when I was a kid in the '80's and I knew, because I was told, that Japanese car were inferior junk compared to domestic cars. It wasn't until I was a teenager and I started learning about cars for myself that Japanese were kicking our ass. It will take time, if ever, to convince the troglodytes.

I would think so as well but, unfortunately, it looks like Model S didn't make the Motor Trend COTY (2013) list.
Based on what I found the Motor Trend COTY 2013 contenders are:
Acura ILX
BMW 3 Series
Cadillac ATS
Cadillac XTS
Chevrolet Malibu
Chevrolet Spark
CODA EV Sedan
Dodge Dart
Ford C-Max
Ford Fusion
Honda Accord
Hyundai Azera
Lexus ES
2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year Contender: Lexus ES - WOT on Motor Trend
Automobile Magazine - Car of the Year!!!
Model S - Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year
2013 Automobile of the Year: Tesla Model S - Automobile Magazine
Every reference I found to the contender list stopped at the car being reviewed, in alphabetical order. I don't know if they're doing that on purpose ("alphabetic unveil of the list") or it's a glitch. Either way, not a fan.I think the list is not complete.
Look at the list again, it is listed by alphabetical order
It will be Motor Trend 2013 Car of the Year instead. It missed some timing deadline to be considered.

I'm more convinced after looking deeper that my theory of alphabetic unveil is right:Every reference I found to the contender list stopped at the car being reviewed, in alphabetical order.

Motor Trend Staff said:Check back to MotorTrend.com on November 12 to discover what will become the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year!
Confirmation my MT today that they are not finished revealing the contenders!
Check back on WOT every day as we run through the contenders in alphabetical order before giving you the chance to vote for your unofficial favorite and announcing the winner on MotorTrend.com on Monday November 12.
Boy, the hatred, ignorance and partisanship in the comments are so terrible that at one point the Y! Autos Staff simply went "Sigh" in their response.
the onus will be on every outlet that chooses something besides the Tesla Model S as their Car of the Year to explain why it's not.
That's the clearest picture I've seen of the side badging Signature text:Yahoo came out with a separate article to respond to the comments.
What it means for Tesla to be our Car of the Year, and why it matters
