I feel like I'd have to be older to be effective here, MattyC's entry notwithstanding. May participate nonetheless but I'll decide that later.

Looks like this needs more people. I'll have to do some research, but I'll join.

How about price categories?
FWD?
AWD?
Rally car?
Hatchback?
Sedan?
Wild cards?

Price Range seems good
Class also works (ie. Economy/compact, sub compact, intermediate, full size)
Fuel Economy (probably won't work that well)

I would maybe add exotic as well..

i thought about sports car on its own as well but figured it could be covered in the one of the other catergories.

Luxury Sedan or just Luxury would be a good category.

I am definitely in on this one.

How about cars that cost more than $300,000. Or some of these:

Cars that go over 200MPH.
Cars from Italy.
Cars from Germany.
Cars in Europe, but outside Germany, Italy, and Britain. (like Spanish, Dutch, cars.)
Cars from Britain.

Mid-engined Cars.
Convertible Cars.
Best Ferrari.
Most useless car (pinto, chevette, gremlin, etc.)
Cars from movies/tv. (Knight Rider, Batmobile, etc.)

The bolded ones could easily be done instead of the category (European), because there are a LOT of euro cars.

I think it would be more useful to have, for example <$300,000 cars and <200 MPH. The supercars will probably get picked anyways, having more restricted categories would make it more fun. "Ferrari" seems a pretty useless category as well. I do think the "fictional/movie" car is a good idea for a category. Clear up whether they're elligilble or not by making a specific home for them, inelligible elsewhere. For price brackets, I'd love to have a <$50,000 and a $50,000-$100,000 category (probably USD, to make things easier). I also support having more categories/more specific categories if it's going to be a small number of people in the draft, but if it gets to more than 10 you really don't need to split up Europe IMO. Maybe add wildcards too.

My categories would be (using Tim's list as a base):

Pre War
50's
60's
70's
80's
90's
2000/Current (merged)
European
Asian
North American (changed from Big 3, yes there are others)
Race Car
Sedan
Coupe
Convertable
Concept Car
Movie Car
<50,000 USD
<100,000 USD
