Again;

Winning characteristics/criteria
"The winner will be a car that delivers a balance of usable performance, accessible handling, and driver-friendly design; a vehicle with a multidimensional personality that will delight and reward the enthusiast driver on any road at any time, regardless of weather and traffic conditions."
So we do have different definitions then. A "driver's car" has nothing to do with a horsepower number to me. Clearly, horsepower has little to do with winning this competition either. Which is as it should be.

They could put 1000 horsepower into my sweet old grandma's Camry. It will never be a driver's car.
