Potentials For " Car Of The Year 2010 " Suggestions please.

Saab Ed

What do you think will win car of the year for 2010. Stick them down here with your reason why and we'll ad a poll after to see what comes out on top.

New Citroen C3 Picasso for me . Right car at the right time IMO. Stylish, very well focused on its core market and well priced

smash

Reventon roadster.... just look at it!



none of your family car rubbish here thanks!

EPM

No doubt the new Polo and E-Class will be in there somewhere too

smash

Ah ffs lads, regress a bit and remember when you were 10, would use choose those cars as car of the year? Lets make this interesting!

I'd say Polo, when the **** is hitting the fan, boring and safe become very appealing.

For a sportscar it takes a bit more than looks alone to win the European car of the year. Only one sportscar has ever won it

It's got the 670 engine too, plus the exclusivity of less than 20 units!

no matter how much sh1t hits any particular fan, I will never ever find boring and safe very appealing, in anything really, not just cars.

which is why This gets my vote

R.O.R

New Astra coming out next year. Boring, but a likely candidate for Irish and European car of the year.

I'm pretty sure that for a car to be crowned CoTY these days it has to appeal to the masses and not be a niche product like that Batmobile you've been posting.

Well, if you say there's a car in that pic I'll just have to take your word for it! :P

Anyway, COTY is a euphemism for boring.

Car of the year is all about fitness for purpose, not just which is the best car.

Saab Ed - surprised you didn't put a word in for the new 9-5 (I don't expect it to earn the title, but it might be seen as a good comeback effort).

Imagine the irony if the SAAB 9-5 won only after the Insignia winning the previous year.

mumblin deaf ro

True - although the saab engineers had a heavy hand in the insignia and (so the story goes) kept their best ideas back for the 9-5 - that remains to be seen of course.
