2008 New York Auto Show: Winners Of 2008 World Car Of The Year Awards
It’s that time of year again to announce the winner of the 2008 World Car of the Year Award. Cars from around the world are judged on their value, safety, merit, and of course how responsible and helpful they are to the environment. I know that each of us were rooting for our personal favorites (Mercedes S-Class) – but here are the three finalists; the Mazda2/Demio, Ford Mondeo, and Mercedes C-Class. The winner was (drum roll) the Mazda2/Demio – which was a bit of a surprise to some of us here at CarXen.
Yet, we weren’t shocked at all to see the winners in some of the other categories. The Audi R8 took home both World Performance Car of the Year and World Car Design. This is the second year in a row that they have won these two awards. The World Green Car of the Year Award was given to the BMW 118d with Efficient Dynamics.
