To be eligible, a car has to be in production and sold in at least five countries and on two continents at the time of the show
This year’s New York Auto Show may be well and truly over but next year’s event, scheduled for April, is already starting to heat up with the release today of the list of candidates for the event’s annual World Car of the Year (WCOTY) and Performance Car of the Year (PCOTY) awards. A total of 31 cars make up the list of candidates for the 2010 WCOTY category, while 15 cars make up the list for the 2010 PCOTY category.
Now in their seventh year, the World and Performance Car of the Year awards are an independent global accreditation to name the best new car on the market, as selected by a voter group made up of established automotive journalists from around the globe.
To be eligible, a car has to be in production and sold in at least five countries and on two continents, which meant many American manufactured cars didn't make the list. The final winners will be picked by a team of 45 judges and announced during the 2010 New York Auto Show in April.
Also running once again for next year’s event are the additional World Green Car and World Car Design of the Year awards. This year, the Volkswagen Golf MkVI took out the WCOTY award, while the mighty Nissan GT-R supercar took out the PCOTY title.
