I dag 66 auto journalister fra hele verden kaste indledende stemmer i 2011 WCOTY konkurrence. Herunder undertegnede, hver af os valgte de ti biler, vi mener er værdig til at blive valgt som den bedste nye bil samt valg af ti til Verden Ydeevne Bil award. Som North America Car of the Year-priser, denne gruppe af journalister er ikke tilknyttet nogen magasin, og er helt uafhængig. Da WCOTY er en verdensomspændende award, berettiget køretøjer skal være tilgængelige i mindst to kontinenter. Hvert år er der flere berettigede køretøjer, der ikke sælges i USA, mens flertallet af Amerikanske køretøjer, der er uegnede, da de ikke er til rådighed uden for Nordamerika. Der er tre Chrysler køretøjer, der indgår i år - Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Challenger SRT8 og Dodge Viper ACR. To GM køretøjer, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe og Opel Meriva (ikke solgt i USA) er berettiget i dette års konkurrence. Chevrolet Cruze og Opel Insignier (Buick Regal) indgik i sidste års konkurrence. Dette år ingen nye Ford-modeller var berettiget. Ford Fiesta var tæt på at vinde i 2009, da det blev indført i resten af verden. På dette tidspunkt har jeg stadig til at køre flere biler, så jeg har endnu ikke besluttet, hvilke modeller jeg synes, der skal vinde priserne. Tre køretøjer, der overraskede mig, var den Dodge Viper ACR, Nissan Juke og Renault Megane Sport (billedet), som jeg kørte i Europa i September sidste år. Sidste år Volkswagen Polo vandt World Car of the Year award, mens Audi R8 V10 blev kåret som Verdens Performance Bil. Der er også to andre priser der gives - World Green Car blev vundet i 2010 med Volkswagens BlueMotion (Golf, Passat, Polo) og Chevrolet Camaro vandt World Car Design af Året. Today 66 auto journalists from around the world cast initial votes in the 2011 WCOTY contest. Including yours truly, each of us selected the ten cars we feel are worthy of being chosen as the best new car as well as choosing ten for the World Performance Car award. Like the North America Car of the Year awards, this group of journalists is not affiliated with any one magazine and is completely independent. Since WCOTY is a worldwide award, eligible vehicles have to be available in at least two continents. Each year there are several eligible vehicles not sold in the US while the majority of American vehicles are ineligible since they are not available outside North America. There are three Chrysler vehicles included this year – the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Dodge Viper ACR. Two GM vehicles, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and Opel Meriva (not sold in the US) are eligible in this years contest. The Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Insignia (Buick Regal) were included in last years competition. This year no new Ford models were eligible. The Ford Fiesta came close to winning in 2009 when it was introduced in the rest of the world. At this stage I have still to drive several cars, so I have not yet decided which models I think should win the awards. Three vehicles that surprised me were the Dodge Viper ACR, Nissan Juke and Renault Megane Sport (pictured) that I drove in Europe last September. Last year the Volkswagen Polo won the World Car of the Year award, while the Audi R8 V10 was voted as World Performance Car. There are also two other awards given – the World Green Car was won in 2010 by the Volkswagen BlueMotion (Golf, Passat, Polo) and the Chevrolet Camaro won the World Car Design of the Year.
