Car or the year!

Maybank and NST claims that the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT is the car of the year for 2007.

That, is if you trust Maybank and NST to tell you which is the best car of the year. (I know we don't take that literally...)

US-based Consumer Reports (July edition) says Hyundai Elantra (X20) is the Top Small Car, beating the Honda Civic EX by one point.

Now, the REAL world car of the year award for 2007 goes to a Lexus LS 460.

And the REAL winner in 2008 goes to...

the Mazda2... 8-0



There must be a reason for this, but I don't have the time, and I'm not interested to find out more. Sheesh... well done Mazda... beating names like Merc, Ford, Audi, Cadillac, Nissan and Volvo. Don't you find it strange that Honda and Toyota are not in the list? Well, so is Hyundai... XD

The AWARD WINNERS are:

2008:
Mazda2 / Mazda Demio – World Car of the Year
Audi R8 – World Performance Car
BMW 118d with Efficient Dynamics – World Green Car
Audi R8 – World Car Design of the Year

2007:

Hope to see Hyundai up there next year!
