I think it's similar to the FIFA games, if it has last year on it people are less likely to buy it.

Great cars in basic spec imo. The 1.2 Punto with 50-60hp and simple interior was great.

Great cars in the context of what else was happening at the time.

Technically they do run it Jan to Dec, however they call it Car of the Year 2015, rather than Car of the Year 2014.

I guess awarding it for the previous year makes it all very retrospective, making it for the current year makes it current, if you know what i mean

The new Fabia is on a mqb subframe and the original mqb is only 2 years old,
