All the magazines always award the boss and gt and never the gt500. I guess they think it's just way too expensive for lacking in the regards it does at a 70k price point (though Jamaal thinks its the bargain of the century lol)

Base price is 55k for the '13 GT500 which is quite the bargain for what you get and the magazines have said that as well. They also said they like the Boss so much because it is near perfect. I agree.
