2010 World Car of the Year winner Volkswagen Polo
Awards season is finally winding down with the 2010 World Car of the Year and World Performance Car of the Year being handed out this morning at the
2010 New York Auto Show. After whittling the fields down to three finalists in each category, the panel of 59 international journalists voted one last time to crown the
World Car of the Year.
While the
Toyota Prius,
Volkswagen Polo and
Mercedes-Benz E-Class were nominated, it was the Polo that took home the gold for 2010 World Car of the Year.
On the performance vehicle front, the nominees were the
Audi R8 V10,
Porsche 911 GT3 and
Ferrari California, with the Audi winning top honors.
They also handed out a Design award for a group of finalists including the
Citroen C3 Picasso,
Kia Soul and
Chevrolet Camaro. That honor went to the Camaro. (U-S-A! U-S-A!)
The Green category saw
Volkswagen's line of diesel-powered BlueMotion vehicles beat out the Toyota Prius and
Honda Insight hybrids. (Die-sel! Die-sel!)
