POLL Results: RR of the Week - 11/6 through 11/10
The votes have been tallied for this week's RR of the Day poll, and we're this close to calling for a recount. The winner with some 600 votes under its belt (28%) is the mildly-modded 2001 Audi S4 of Julia Howard. The S4 had some pretty stiff and very interesting competition, which makes this relatively ordinary ride such a surprise victor. The very sharp 1967 Chevy Impala SS made a run at the title gathering 488 votes (22%), while the Euro-only 1984 BMW 745i Turbo also put up a fight earning 482 votes (22%). My personal fave from last week, the Holden GTO conversion, captured a respectable 367 votes (17%), and the Volkswagen Rabbit tugged on some nostalgic heart strings to the tune of 243 votes (11%). The voting was much closer than normal last week and returned the second highest number of total votes yet for a RR of the Week Poll with 2,180 ballots cast.
Total Votes: 2,180
NEXT WEEK'S THEME: Cars of the '80s!
Break out the leg warmers and your old Atari 2600, because we're going back to the '80s for our next RR of the Day theme. All next week we want to feature glorious cars from the decade that brought us the rise of Kevin Bacon as an actor and synthesized music as an art form. If you have a vehicle that originates from the 1980s, submit it to our Autoblog Flickr Pool to be considered for a RR of the Day feature. Man, it's gonna be a rad week.
How to submit to RR of the Day:
Create a Flickr account if you don't already have one. Search for and join the group called 'Autoblog 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!

You all just don't understand. The Holden GTO is the clear winner.

First time I've voted in 3 or 4 weeks now that we're hopefully over the trend of nominating different iterations of the same vehicle. This mish-mash is much more interesting -- who cares who actually "wins"??
I voted for the rabbit -- I thought it was the most interesting of the bunch. I seem to have a habit of voting for the least-favorite vehicle which is usually the least shiny of them.

I think these polls will always be decided by who get the most of his/her forum buddies to come over here and vote for them. I wish it could be restricted to daily readers.

I liked the Impala myself. I want to see a Z car in next week's RR of the Day.

#5 - Autoblog neglected to include the first entry 67 RS/SS during camaro week, so the poll results were completely pointless (the porsche won afaik)

Yes, this S4 is the clear winner not only this week, but probably since RR started on Autoblog. Fantastic sleeper!

Hey Aaron, does that mean I have no forum buddies? (lol) Anyhow, I'm not complaining about the S4 winning...
