You are missing the "Value".

I also think the new Ferrari 488 is a better car than the Camaro SS......

Like it or not here is how they judge them. Of course with any selection of the "best" many won't like the criteria or the ultimate winner that is selected.

Quote:
The Criteria
Advancement in Design
Quality execution of exterior and interior styling; innovation in vehicle packaging; good selection and use of materials.

Engineering Excellence
Integrity of total vehicle concept and execution, clever solutions to packaging, manufacturing, and dynamics issues; use of cost-effective technologies that benefit the consumer.

Efficiency
Low energy consumption and carbon footprint relative to the vehicle’s competitive set.

Safety
Primary safety — the vehicle’s ability to help the driver avoid a crash — as well as secondary safety measures that protect its occupants from harm during a crash.

Value
Price and equipment levels measured against those of vehicles in the same market segment.

Performance of Intended Function
How well the vehicle does the job its designers and product planners intended.
I am guessing you don't agree with the criteria they use for their award?
