European Car of the Year to be announced Nov. 17
Final voting is under way for the European Car of the Year 2009 and the result will be announced on the 17th inst. at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London at the Autocar Awards.
Interestingly, the shortlist is not too dissimilar from the Car to Be Seen in finalists that Lucire announces next month.
The seven finalists for European Car of the Year 2009 are: Alfa Romeo MiTo (above left), Citroën C5, Ford Fiesta, Opel Insignia, Renault Mégane, Škoda Superb and Volkswagen Golf VI.
Lucire notes that at least three of the same models will appear in Car to Be Seen in 2009.
The European Car of the Year is elected by 59 expert motoring journalists representing 23 European countries. The contest, regarded as the most prestigious of the many “best car” awards, is in its 46th year.—Lucire staff, Autocar
