 Best Car Blog: This Week's Bracket Competition« »

This week's bracket slugfest is a bit different. There's no competing marque or model, rather the car blogs we all know. If you've got a favorite, make sure to weigh in. I'd bet opinions on some of these sites are about as conversational as the opinions of these site.

Check out the competition here...

Im going for Jalopnik all they way cuz I'm so underground-car-cool.

How come Motive isnt on the list?

Im going to vote autoblog as long as I can, though to be honest the only other blog I've ever read here is jalopnik, which seems to do a good job too.

I hate autoblog even though I check it everyday. The writing is just painful half of the time.

I think Motor Authority does the best job. They break many of the news stories first, and their writing is clear and concise, every time.

Considering it's possible to edit polls, there's just a little conflict of interest.

Let's hear it for rallying the troops: The "best automotive blog" competition has come down to Hemmings versus CarDomain. Jalopnik and Autoblog were both knocked out.

Have you noticed how many people with one vote are chiming in for CarDomain?

If there's one thing Ricers, Eurosnobs, and the Mullet crew can agree on, it's that CarDomain is the perfect place to post pictures of their crappy cars.
