I had forgotten that the 2003 winner was the Megane.
Obviously a lot of sense in COTY afterall :-0
From that link, there's been so rubbish getting the award hasn't there? Horizon, Alpine even the Renault 9. What a dull car from a manufacturer that can produce much more interesting designs. Where was Le Quement back then???

Alpine was a very good looking car for it's time..... pity about the rattly engine (1442?). I know it was based on the same block as the Simca 1301/1501 engine, a car which la famille Davies were lucky enough to own in the late 70s.....
Starter for ten.. where is the fuel filler cap on a Simca 1501?
|
Behind the numberplate?
You owned a car that you couldn't fill up? ;-)
|
Ha!
I couldn't fill it up, I was too busy being eight... but my dad could. Yes, it's behind the numberplate, well done!
Our neighbour said that he wished to thank us for owning a Simca, as it had saved him the expense of buying an alarm clock. My dad was working in Telford, so got up very early. Our neighbour got up when my dad left! Rattle rattle rattle.
Haven't seen one for years.... I bet there's none left in the UK.

No need to be sarcy;-) I would have taken longer making it more specific but I wanted to be the first one to get it. I like being first. Doesn't happen very often so I have to snatch it whenever I can.

It's a list of boring motors all of which are undoubtedly fit for purpose and a lot better than their equivalents would have been twenty years ago... nothing more to be said.

Isn't there a rule that says the winner has to be French or Italian? It also "has" to be a mass market car.
|
And look at the sheer number of cars on that list that turned out to be total unreliable carp.
Loads of Fiats, NSU Ro80, SD1, the Alpine, Horizon (god that was a bad car), Lancia Delta, Alfas, 307....
My dad has owned a fair number of these and funnily enough, he's always having trouble. Hey ho.
|
I would hesitate at calling the RO80 carp... unreliable, yeah, but trailblazing. Look how much it looks like the 1983 winner!!
The Delta is not a bad car either.... spawned a few rally cars n that....
307 and Horizon you can have! : )

Right - Car Of The Year - Right.
What are we /I supposed to do? It is a toally political decision - just like The Eurovision Song Contest.
So The Sportmobile Widget XS is The Car Of The Year. Does that mean that it will be practical, reliable good residuals? Somehow I think not.
Another complete waste of time, space and money.
Whoops! Why have I just typed that?
