    Yeah the WRX is the 2008 model, but there's a coupe coming out in 2010...

    What no fiesta or focus? If I had to vote on that list it would be the astra.

    Focus is old and replacement is not too far away. Fiesta should be included though imo.

    Voted for the new astra, just think its a good car for the Irish market, as well as being a good car overall.

    For me, iw ould go for an insignia over a mondeo, and considering the new astra is a bit like a shrinked insignia, i'd go for that over a focus, whatever about driver involvement, i think the air of quality and looks in an insignia or an astra over a mondeo or a focus, would sell it for me

    Went for the astra over the insignia because i wouldnt consider it new enough to win this award, i think it should be for a car whos first year on market is 2010

    That sums up my vote nicely too.

    And mine. I'd expected and predicted the Insignia was going to win, but maybe it will just win here :)

    Voted for the insignia out of that list, nice looks, good drive, and nice engines. I wouldn't be so sure whether i'd buy one though.

    of the list I went for the Legacy, but my preferred choice would be either the Focus RS, Lotus Evora or Jaguar XFR

    You voted for a subaru, thats a surprise!:):D

    Ya,the Focus RS should definitely be on that list, if the Porsche Panamera is on it, why not the few you've mentioned

    Very odd about the Panamera though, doubt 3 of them will be registered in this country in 2010...

    Not driven any of the other cars but had Fiesta as hire car recently and very nice for a small car.

    Thanks for the poll. Why is the BMW 5-series not in there ?

    Presumably because no journalists have driven or reviewed it yet, it wouldn't be in such an award for another year yet

    I'd have to agree - I picked the Ka because I like its looks and I think a car for 2010 has to be small and (relatively) cheap...

    But if I was forced to have one of the cars from the list, I be very depressed!

    That list is a snooze fest, the Z is the only one that warrants the effort of a vote

    Very tough list this year as none of the cars exactly re-write the rule book in their segments.

    I voted for the iQ because at least it's innovative and brings a similar concept to the original Mini back to the market. If only they weren't so ambitious with the pricing.

    this poll and thread are absurd - nobody here has driven all the cars on the list or even a shortlist of the cars here.
    People are just voting for their favourite brands ( which usually on boards means the brand they currently have :rolleyes:)

    Insignia by a mile,there's nothing else on the list inspiring.

    Surprised no one has voted for the 3008, seen one the other day. Its is a nice car.

    primarily because of the boxer diesel...really impressed with the smoothness of the engine and the mpg return with the AWD. Only gripe I have is that they could have given it an extra 20bhp & 6speed, but would they have been able to keep the emissions down?

    A mate of mine has one and loves it, what do you think of the access into the back seats?


    This one looks fantastic.

    The new one is a totally different animal to the car your mate probably has.
