European COTY finalist list released

The European COTY is considered one of the toughest with journalists from the continent bearing their opinion on the industry's offering for the year.

Last year the Nissan Leaf impressed judges with its ability to behave just like a normal car, despite having washing machine motors driving the wheels.

Euro COTY does tend to favour family sedans and hatchbacks so luxury and sports cars have very little chance of winning.

They have just released the list of 35 finalists, follow the jump to see the full line-up of great cars.



My bet is on the Volkswagen Up and Citroen DS4, anyone wants to put down their guess please do so in the comment segment, first to guess the right winner will get RM100 prepaid for the carrier of their choice or touch and go card for the same value. So please put down your name for the contest
