In the realm of automotive accolades, there is one man who stands above the rest. Doug DeMuro, the self-proclaimed connoisseur of quirks, has once again graced us with his annual Doug Awards. This year, he takes us on a journey through his top picks in various categories, from the most Doug-like car to the worst car of the year.

Starting with the "Doug is the type of guy" award, DeMuro highlights the vehicles that embody his unique taste. The runner-up in this category is the Oldsmobile Aurora, a 90s sedan that oozes absurdity. However, the true winner is the Saline XP8, a modified Ford Explorer that screams Doug from every angle. With its V8 engine, supercharger, and lowered stance, this 90s gem is a testament to DeMuro's love for the obscure.

Moving on to the most expensive car of the year, DeMuro showcases the Singer DLS as the runner-up. While it may command a hefty price tag of over $2 million, it fails to capture his heart. The true winner in this category is the Ferrari SP3 Daytona, a breathtaking machine that combines speed, style, and sheer audacity. With its eye-catching design and blistering performance, this Ferrari is the epitome of automotive excellence.

In the bargain of the year category, DeMuro surprises us with his choices. The runner-up is the Ferrari 360 Modena 6-speed, a car that may not be a top-tier exotic but offers a thrilling driving experience at an affordable price. However, the true winner is the C6 Chevy Corvette Z06, a powerhouse that delivers over 500 horsepower for a fraction of the cost. DeMuro reminds us that this American muscle car is a true bargain, offering incredible performance for just $35,000.

As we delve into the biggest surprise of the year, DeMuro unveils two runners-up. The Spiker C8, a car that he once dismissed as a mere orphan supercar, has now won his heart with its unique driving experience and exquisite craftsmanship. Another surprise is the Toyota Prius, a car that defies expectations with its thoughtfully designed exterior and impressive performance. However, the ultimate winner in this category is the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, an off-road version of the iconic supercar. DeMuro's initial skepticism is quickly replaced by awe as he experiences the thrill of driving this beast through rugged terrain.

These are just a taste of the Doug Awards, with more categories and winners to explore. From the worst car of the year to the video of the year, DeMuro's passion for automobiles shines through. So buckle up and join him on this journey of automotive excellence as he reveals his top picks for 2023.
