Meester, no BMW's? X1 and Z4 are both BMWs. Audi Fan, the R8 V10 is a nice car, but the Ferrari California would be a better choice. I have driven it over a reasonable distance and it's a Ferrari for every day use, with the normal Ferrari qualities as well is going to be had to beat as fast car award. |
Agree with Meester and AudiA4Away, although I have the Audi A6 Quatro Tiptronic. What a dream to drive!!
|
@Meester: 'Other shortlisted contenders (with an outside chance at the title) are BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mazda3 and Kia Soul. GM’s Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Insignia round off the list as rank outsiders.

You should read the entire article before commenting. |
No bmw, no merc, no volvo HAHAHAAAA .... geez it took them look to see what REAL quality is. AUDI!! |
The fiat Bravo is the most beautiful car in production, a masterpiece. |
Haha so funny the new VW Polo has been nominated. I hope it wins so some stupid SA journalist can harp on about it without doing his homework and knowing the reason for it winning is its ultra fuel economy engine and SA still is using prehistoric engines in its Polos. The only thing the same with the SA version is the outside, the rest is still same old not worthy of a any prize. |
Check out the Historic racing at Killarney this weekend and then comment again |
whitout any doubt AUDI RV10 IS THE WINNER. PS GOOD DECISSION TOYOTA FOR RECALL IT SHOWS YOU DON'T COMPROMISE QQULITY. |
what the big deal with that R8 V10 anyway? its cost two arms and one leg...(R2 mil) is only a two seater with a massive 5 litre V10.. it is SUPPOSED to go like a rocket.. and even then .. there are plenty other super cars that with thrash this overpriced brute... and after all said and done.. it will still be a bland Audi with less shelf life than a loaf of bread... BMrules!

I have a new Kia Soul diesel and what a nice car to drive. My second Kia love the brand |
BMW Z4 should be voted car of the year |
So what if they recalled Toyotas. The writer is as biased as the panel !! A kettle calling the pot .... huh! a mirror ! ....black? LOL...The Prius is there because ....uhmmm...they have improved the tech on this model....and are the class leading "green" car of the lot. It is a real fuel saver ... and comapred to the old one....a 40% improvement.....and it will win it.....and then be recalled !! |
What a load of rubbish cars in all sections.
I would, without hesitation, choose a Corvette over any of the listed Performance cars and still have change to buy another car.
The Alfa Mito would be my WCOTY which could be purchase with the change from the Vette.
As for the green car -- what a load of rubbish, all these should be banned from our roads, they are ugly slow and are driven by idiotic left wing tree huggers.
Here in the UK any car older that 1975 does not attracked a licence fee so my motto is:
DON'T PAY TAX, KEEP THE PLANET WARM, DRVE AN OLD V8. |
AUDI , ALL THE WAY
|
Comments about the KIA soul are unfounded.The vehicle is tough and nippy.Everyday I get people coming up to me inquiring about the Soul.Yep its eye catching and sure to increase in numbers on the road |
How on earth can the Cruze form part of this reward? Honestly, isn't this award meant to be for a car that has move things FORWARD, or has offer new technologies? |
I just love the Panamera. Its such a awesome piece of engineering, with the best cabin in the business, at a reasonable price. I think it will controversially take it. |
You gotta love the Panamera it has got the mafia look, the trilogy continues!!! |
x1 ?good one ha,ha,ha. |
Heheh, the Kia Soul should actually be called the "Kia Roll". Have you seen how those things bodyroll around corners? Narrow wheelbase, high body - not a good idea! |
chev cruize |
I also don't agree with the writer of the article. Nothing wrong with recall. In fact it is, how I expect a responsible manufacturer to act. And I totally agree with all the nominated cars. |
Yes Dagon. The biatch is rather ghey. |
The Panamera? You are having a laugh!
It's monstrous to say the least. |
Dagon, they picked the Prius three times. Toyota is on massive recall. You don't see a shortage of good judgment here? |
Whoever wrote this article is clearly ticked of at WCOTY for not picking him as part of the voting panel. Isn't journalism supposed to be unbiased? Yet the writers trying to enforce his opinion as to who's going to win. Irritating article. Anyway, I don't agree with him on the Porsche Panamera. Although it's an amazing car, the WCOTY should be an allrounder; accessible & practical. Performance - V12 Vantage & TT RS stand just as good a chance, especially with the TT's performance to price ratio compared to the other big cars. |
If The R8 V10 doesnt win the fastest car award, the judges of this years COTY must be a bunch of blind people |
