BMW E90 World Car Of The Year?

DWUK · 04-06-2006, 09:56 AM

Hey guys - just FYI, the BMW E90 has been shortlisted with the Porsche Cayman S and the Mazda MX5 for the best Car Of The Year.

Results are out April 13th.

Interesting to see that the E90 is up for best designed car also. Wonder what Jeremy Clarkson is thinking now

Hmmm final 3 for WCOTY honors....the e90 might win as it has demonstrated advances in efficient packaging, materials etc all the stuff these judges go for. At the same time, the MX-5 might be a popular choice. Not too sure on the cayman...isn't it essentially a tweaked boxster-coupe

Guess which I'd vote for...

I'd choose the Cayman S, but it's bloody unpractical IRL.

E90 is best car of the year in Japan too.

jeremy clarkson is a biased tool. who cares what he thinks. even if all car specialists of the world would come to him with written proves and test results documenting why E90 is a good car and why its design works really well, he would still talk shit about it and call all those specialists amateurs that don't know what they're talking about.

Jeremy Clarkson - for some bizarre reason is highly rated in the UK

My personal opinion - he sponsored by Ford Motor Corp always has been.........

Cntlaw - how much do the E90 go for in HK?
Just curious on the ticket prices - last time I remembered the tax was a killer in HK. :mad:
