Tulemused avalikustati täna pressikonverentsil võõrustas Bridgestone Corporation. Im on hea meel öelda, et võitjad olid ka minu neli valikut. Oma esimese aeg Olen olnud kokkulepe, kõik neli kategooriat, minu 66 mehe auto ajakirjanik žürii liikmete kogu maailmast. Kuigi seal on palju küüniline skeptikud teemal elektrilised autod, Nissan Leaf ja Chevrolet Volt on kindlasti autod, et tulevikku vaadata. Juhul oled mõtlesin, et Volt ei kvalifitseerunud Maailma Auto auhinna, kui see ei ole veel müügil piisavalt riikides. Irooniline, see on abikõlblikud järgmise aasta peamine auhind. Kirje Nissan Leaf Rummuttaa Audi A8 ja BMW 5-seeria maailma auto auhind – seal ei ole palju poleemikat kolme finalisti hulka. Ferrari 458 Italia trounced Porsche 911 Turbo ja Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Performance Award – jällegi ei ole palju arutelu. Aston Martin Rapide peksid Alfa Romeo Guillietta ja Ferrari 458 Italia auto disaini auhinna ja ma kahtlustan, et seal on mõned vandemeeste, kes olid üllatunud, et otsusega. Samuti Chevrolet Volt peksid BMW 320d EfficientDynamicsi Edition ja Nissan Leaf ja ma kahtlustan, seal on ilmselt mõned, kes ei tea, miks lehed ei võtnud ka selle auhinna. See on eriti hea uudis Chevrolet kui juhtiva auto ajakirjanike üle maailma näevad Volt oluliselt tähtis auto, kuigi enamik neist ei ole veel sõita ta. The results were unveiled today at a press conference hosted by Bridgestone Corporation. Im pleased to say that the winners were also my four choices. Its the first time Ive been in agreement, in all four categories, with my 66 fellow auto journalist jury members from around the world. Although there are plenty of cynical naysayers on the subject of electric cars, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt are certainly cars that look to the future. In case youre wondering the Volt did not qualify for the World Car award as it is not yet on sale in enough countries. Ironically, it will be eligible next year for the main award. For the record the Nissan Leaf beat out the Audi A8 and BMW 5-Series among the three finalists for the World Car award – not much controversy there. The Ferrari 458 Italia trounced the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Porsche 911 Turbo for the Performance award – again not much debate. The Aston Martin Rapide beat the Alfa Romeo Guillietta and Ferrari 458 Italia for the Car Design award and I suspect there are some jurors who were surprised by that decision. Likewise, the Chevrolet Volt beat the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition and the Nissan Leaf and I suspect there are probably some who wonder why the Leaf did not also take this award. It is particularly good news for Chevrolet if leading auto journalists around the world see the Volt as a significantly important car, even though most of them have not yet driven it.
