of course they can, neither MB, Audi, BMW have bad cars, they are all good in their own ways. The big question is, can they pass the E90 in sales?

For example BMW got many red dot awards by Design Zentrum NW, Essen*:

Last year Audi A6 also got the red dot award.

Here are the other winner in vehicle categories over the recent history:

* Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, based in Essen, Germany is one of the leading European institutions in the field of design promotion. Design Zentrum has acted as an intermediary between industry, business and designers since 1954, organising high prestige competitions such as the red dot design affording design oriented companies the opportunity of comparing performance and quality on an international level. With 4,165 participants the red dot design award is the largest design competition in Germany, establishing its award world-wide as one of the most desired quality labels for good design.
They are pretty liberal with those Red Dot awards, it seems every second German kettle, office chair, or car has been awarded one - the Italian Compasso d'Oro design award is probably the most coveted in the world.

Re: 2006 World Car of the Year Awards

I'm sure BMW fans everywhere are pleased, but truly the S-class or even the (NEW) LS should have gotten this award. They both have far more to them as far as material, technology and design then the 3 series (In my personal opinion).
