Re: European Car of the Year 2007 contenders announced

Well, I suppose it was time for this. The S-Max has gotten tons and tons of positive reviews, apparently it's the first vehicle in its class that's actually fun to drive... not a bad choice at all.

Re: European Car of the Year 2007 contenders announced

It doesn't look bad either for a car of that class.

This competition isn't a joke at all - it's just focused on different priorities, that's all.

The ECOTY is designed specifically to aid people in making real-world car choices. Becuase, let's face it, cars like MB or BMW are just not good value-for-money, nor are they as practical as other cars. Sure, you might be saying: "But they're better to drive!" But that's not the point.

Re: European Car of the Year 2007 contenders announced

LMAO look at the list of winners.

This award is a complete joke. So a car has to be cheap and cheerfull to win? PUHHHLEASE. At least our Australian COTY recognizes the difference between being cheap and being good value for money which is why the Mercedes S-class has won twice out of the past 3 generations.

Re: European Car of the Year 2007 contenders announced

hmm, after studing the ECOTY of the last 30 years, i have figured out that only CHEAP down to earth good all around cars can win the title. So i would expect 207 or Civic to win. S-max is just out of place...
