POLL Results: RR of the Week
What a battle that took place between two rides up for the glorious title of RR of the Week over the weekend. The 1991 Acura NSX and 1951 Hudson Hornet were literally neck and neck the entire weekend, and when the dust settled with 2,646 votes cast (more than double our previous record for most votes cast), the 1991 Acura NSX won by a nose at the finish. About 35% of voters gave their clicks to the NSX, which equals 921 votes. The Hornet, meanwhile, was right behind with 32% of the vote, or about 855 clicks. Again this week, there was a battle for the remaining podium spot that ended in a tie! The bronze will be shared by the SMART Roadster and 2003 Honda S2000, both of which received 13% of the vote, or 357 clicks. Bringing up the rear, as it likely would in a real race between these cars, is the Suzuki Cappuccino, which attracted 6% of your affection, or 156 votes. 
For those who want their car considered for an RR of the Day feature, please make sure to include as much information about you, your car and its history as possible. No matter how sweet your ride is, we won't feature it if we don't know anything about it.
Follow the jump for complete instructions on how to have your ride considered for RR of the Day.

Upload up to three photos of your ride to your own account at a size no larger than 450 pixels wide if possible and include as much information about it and yourself as possible. Even if your ride is sweet, it will not be chosen if there's not a lot of info accompanying it. Click on each photo and just above the picture it will say "Send to group". Click that and select the Autoblog group. You're done, that's it!

regarding the comment on the cappuccino in a race:
cappuccino performances:
Acceleration 0-62 mph 8.0 seconds
Smart roadster ( 80bhp)
Acceleration 0 - 62 mph 10.9 seconds
The roadster is heavier and has a horible gearbox, it is prettier though and a really nice car (except for the gearbox).

That Hudson was far nicer than the NSX.

OK _ TO DRIVE, maybe! I am sure the votes were from people who never drove a fast car. As for looks, here is the textbook example of soulless Japanese styling. The car could be a refrigerator or a hair dryer, for all the automotive sexiness it possesses. Maybe the worst supercar styling ever, worse than the vulgar ones, because it is without a trace of balls.

Thank-you, Captain Redneck.

If it weren't for the movie "Cars" I doubt the Hornet would've even be one of the choices.
And now everyone is praising the Hornet as if it's God's right nut. Friggin fanboys....

NSX? see 'em on the road every day in California. Hudson Hornet? Not so much...
That Capuccino is an interesting little devil...

Where the HELL did that come from? Just totally rude and without class.
Do you allow that someone with good taste could think this car is horribly bland -- a thousand miles (actually 9000 miles) from a Ferrari. And the rednecks buy Corvettes, used to buy Supras and Mitsubishi 3000s. Which are you, some puffed-up poser who thought this uncool car was cool and bought it, or a teeny bopper with a rice rocket?

Perhaps you should re-read your entire post, which was (ironically) a rude and classless redneck rant against the Japanese..."oh, they're so uncreative and stupid, they just copy, copy, copy...they have no soul...blah blah blah..."

I voted for the Hudson. If only because it is so unique. I've seen dozens of NSXs... I've only ever seen three Hudsons in the flesh. They have a unique place in the history of the automobile.
Don't get me wrong, the NSX deserves a place in automotive history too, but that time hasn't arrived yet. Like wines, or a good Scotch Whisky, it takes time to age well. The NSX will rank someday, like the Toyota 2000GT does today, as a unique Japanese supercar. At the moment though, it is just a really nice Acura.

BOB is one of those repressed men who is angry that George W. won't allow his people the right to marry. He must take out his rage on Dubya's folks.
And, yes, '80s and '90s Ferraris were bland as hell. The styling innovation of a 2x4.

"BUD THE STUD"? ____ PERSONAL ATTACK, POSSIBLY BASED ON A SECRET LONGING__________ EPP_B---"textbook example of soulless Japanese styling" does NOT say ALL Japanese styling is bad or ALL Japanese copy, or NO Japanese have souls, or anything else like that. Call me an elitist or a snob, or call me correct -- whatever, but, believe it or not, I am smart enough to write ALL when I mean it. Do not put words into my keyboard.
