Wait, no GS 350 F sport? Preposterous! LOL. I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet it will be the VW GTI--nothing but stellar reviews. Too easy to pick the Porsche.

they should not have 2014 Performance Car of the Year testing/award because car is not available yet?

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you, but in this case I see little value in having a test minus one of its most important entries.

What do you mean, not made yet? 2015 C7 models are in production (though limited availablity)...and the auto press/magazines usually gets first pick on them. And there are still some unsold 2014 models.
