I knew it would be some tiny city car before I clicked on the link. I thought it would be a Panda though, European car of the year?

[SystemParanoia]

what is the point in this car of the year crap?

it seems to just be a case of who hands over the biggest brown envelope that year :/

How can a car of the year award be given when we are barley 4/12 months in too said year?

[ZOLLAR]

It moved up the ranks quickly..

Proving it is the most pointless award ever given.

I am sure anyone who actually bought this car must have zero interest in driving or cars in general, great for a cheap runaround i suppose.

Was the board that were judging all over 80 years old!

Getting better, it was the Nissan Leaf last year.

I guess these are the same guys who vote on the 'roundabout of the year' award, or the 'grass verge of the year' award, or maybe the 'comfiest slipper of the year' award.
