The winner is the one that bribes most of the journalists (althjough not every journo can be bribed, Autosport is an example). I know some of them very well and know how the COTY system works ...

Go Focus!!!! It'll probably be the Pug though.

A car like the BMW should win, unfortanately it´s not affordable for everyone and prize is considered in the equation to pick the car of the year. Beyond that the BMW is a great car. I´m waiting for the "M" version.

The 1 series is seriously bad ass for the price, but I got my money on the Pug. For anyone who wasnt aware, the focus is a good handling but cramped, poorly designed, unreliable, ugly piece of junk. Just thought Id let you know

Not exactly the most exotic group of cars..

The BMW, I guess.

I reckon it'll be the Focus or the C4 judging by what I've read of the two.
