The nominations for this year's COTY award have been revealed:
- Citroen DS5
- Fait Panda
- Ford Focus
- Vauxhall Ampera/Chevrolet Volt
- Range Rover Evoque
- Toyota Yaris
- VW Up

From this list, which car do you think should win?

Personally I don't see one stand-out car. From a technology point of view and potential to influence future car design I suppose the Vauxhall Ampera should win, but from what I have read in the US press the car has not lived up to expectations in real-world use and has been a bit of a disappointment.

The car I feel will win, however, is the much over-hyped VW Up.

I don't really know much about the Volt/Ampera, but the others are all so dull that I think I'd like to see that win just for being different, even if it's rubbish. hehe

I work in vauxhall Ellesmere port (where its speculated this new ampera will be built), im going to be honest after seeing and being in the new car, i doubt anything else will win, build quality funnily enoug looks strong and styling is beautifull. regards the tech, its decent and for your normal every day commute to work and general week day activities i don't see any problems with it. Going further a field may become less economic (or should i say will) but overall its still a damn site better than anythng available at the moment.
