线程： 世界汽车的年投票完成 — — 2011年纽约车展预览

在世界各地的陪审员现已完成其最终投票为世界汽车奖中的四个类别。每个类别中的三位决赛选手将透露下星期在日内瓦汽车展。

作为一名陪审员我以为读者可能会想知道我如何投票。永远是那么艰难选择获胜者，因为有这么多好车。一个人往往最喜爱的一，但当它归结到实际投票你有得客观地看看汽车优点从整体的角度来看，其在市场上的地位。

下面是我投的四个类别:

在今年的整体汽车： 投票为这个主要的奖励通过分配点的加权的重要性的六个不同方面。我填写联机窗体时，不立即显现出来，哪辆车取得了冠军。一旦我跑了找到了日产 Leaf 电子表格中的数字有狭隘地殴打用来在第三的大切诺基吉普捷豹 XJ。我很高兴这叶明显是重大的车辆，或许更多所以海外比在美国。捷豹 XJ 带来了标志性的英国轿车进入 21 世纪的从人群中，站出来的看起来就像捷豹始终做。我很惊讶我如此高度评价吉普大切诺基，但一旦我分析我投票我意识到这是重大的因为它是相比，在最近的过去实行了吉普车的这种改善。之间我不能开车的顶十个入围的只有两个车是奥迪 A1 和宝马 X3。

世界性能车: 投票是通过简单的排名。这是一个简单的选择 — — 我对意大利的法拉利 458 投赞成票。我只简要地开着车，但很愉快，和有些吃惊，在开车相比法拉利旧车是多么容易。怎么说关于它的外观，除了其真正令人惊叹。我的第二选择是阿斯顿马丁快速和第三去了保时捷 911 Turbo。

世界汽车设计： 我把我的票给此类别中的阿斯顿马丁该网络。我认为阿斯顿 · 马丁做了一部出色的创造美丽的四门跑车。法拉利 458 意大利是我的第二选择，而我在第三投奥迪 A7。

世界绿色的车 — — 我在此类别中的投票去雪佛兰 Volt，这是很好的解决方案，电动汽车的范围问题。顺便说一句车没有资格为年奖的整体汽车因为它还没有全球发售。它可能会列入下一年度。我对梅赛德斯-奔驰 B 级 F-中的单元格第二和第三位的日产 Leaf 投赞成票。

我票有不匹配最后赢家非常密切，过去的几年因此它将是有趣，看看其他陪审员的投赞成票。最终的获胜者将在 4 月宣布在 2011年纽约车展。

Jurors around the world have now completed their final voting for the four categories in the World Car Awards. The three finalists in each category will be revealed next week at the Geneva Auto Show.

As one of the jurors I thought readers might like to know how I voted. It is always tough to choose the winners as there are so many good cars. Often one has a favorite but when it comes down to actual voting you have to be objective and look at the cars merits from an overall point of view and its position in the marketplace.

Heres how I voted in the four categories:

Overall Car of the Year: The voting for this major award is done by assigning points in six different aspects that are weighted in importance. When I filled in the form online it was not immediately apparent as to which car I had made the winner. Once I ran the numbers in a spreadsheet I found the Nissan Leaf had narrowly beaten the Jaguar XJ with the Jeep Grand Cherokee coming in third. I am happy with this as the Leaf is obviously a significant vehicle, perhaps more so overseas than in the US. The Jaguar XJ brings the iconic British sedan into the 21st century with looks that stand out from the crowd, just as Jags have always done. I was surprised that I rated the Jeep Grand Cherokee so highly but once I analyzed my voting I realized it is significant as it is such an improvement compared to the Jeeps that have been introduced in the recent past. The only two vehicles among the top ten finalists I did not get to drive were the Audi A1 and BMW X3.

World Performance Car: Voting is done by simple ranking. This was an easy choice – I voted for the Ferrari 458 Italia. I only drove the car briefly but was pleasantly, and somewhat surprised, at how easy the car is to drive compared to Ferraris of old. And what can one say about its looks, other than its truly stunning. My second choice was the Aston Martin Rapide and third went to the Porsche 911 Turbo.

World Car Design: I gave my vote to the Aston Martin Rapide in this category. I think Aston Martin did a superb job of creating a beautiful four-door sports car. The Ferrari 458 Italia was my second choice, while I voted the Audi A7 in third.

World Green Car – my vote in this category went to the Chevrolet Volt as I think it is a great solution to the range problem for electric cars. Incidentally the car was not eligible for the Overall Car of the Year award as it is not yet on sale worldwide. It will probably be included next year. I voted for the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell in second and the Nissan Leaf in third place.

My votes have not matched the final winners very closely the past few years so it will be interesting to see how other jurors voted. The final winners will be announced at the 2011 New York Auto Show in April.
