執行緒： 世界汽車的年投票完成 — — 2011年紐約車展預覽

在世界各地的陪審員現已完成其最終投票為世界汽車獎中的四個類別。每個類別中的三位決賽選手將透露下星期在日內瓦汽車展。

作為一名陪審員我以為讀者可能會想知道我如何投票。永遠是那麼艱難選擇獲勝者，因為有這麼多好車。一個人往往最喜愛的一，但當它歸結到實際投票你有得客觀地看看汽車優點從整體的角度來看，其在市場上的地位。

下面是我投的四個類別:

在今年的整體汽車： 投票為這個主要的獎勵通過分配點的加權的重要性的六個不同方面。我填寫連線表單時，不立即顯現出來，哪輛車取得了冠軍。一旦我跑了找到了日產 Leaf 試算表中的數位有狹隘地毆打用來在第三的大切諾基吉普捷豹 XJ。我很高興這葉明顯是重大的車輛，或許更多所以海外比在美國。捷豹 XJ 帶來了標誌性的英國轎車進入 21 世紀的從人群中，站出來的看起來就像捷豹始終做。我很驚訝我如此高度評價吉普大切諾基，但一旦我分析我投票我意識到這是重大的因為它是相比，在最近的過去實行了吉普車的這種改善。之間我不能開車的頂十個入圍的只有兩個車是奧迪 A1 和寶馬 X3。

世界性能車: 投票是通過簡單的排名。這是一個簡單的選擇 — — 我對義大利的法拉利 458 投贊成票。我只簡要地開著車，但很愉快，和有些吃驚，在開車相比法拉利舊車是多麼容易。怎麼說關於它的外觀，除了其真正令人驚歎。我的第二選擇是阿斯頓馬丁快速和第三去了保時捷 911 Turbo。

世界汽車設計： 我把我的票給此類別中的阿斯頓馬丁該網路。我認為阿斯頓 · 馬丁做了一部出色的創造美麗的四門跑車。法拉利 458 義大利是我的第二選擇，而我在第三投奧迪 A7。

世界綠色的車 — — 我在此類別中的投票去雪佛蘭 Volt，這是很好的解決方案，電動汽車的範圍問題。順便說一句車沒有資格為年獎的整體汽車因為它還沒有全球發售。它可能會列入下一年度。我對梅賽德斯-賓士 B 級 F-中的儲存格第二和第三位的日產 Leaf 投贊成票。

我票有不匹配最後贏家非常密切，過去的幾年因此它將是有趣，看看其他陪審員的投贊成票。最終的獲勝者將在 4 月宣佈在 2011年紐約車展。

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.
