2010 European Car of Year.

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.

Even though its still 2009.
Gee, this VW mob are really moving to the future.

Volkswagen Polo - 2010 European COTY



Volkswagen’s new Polo has just been awarded the 2010 European Car of the Year award. The VW supermini edged out the Toyota iQ by a narrow margin but it was then daylight to the rest of the seven car field.

The full run down of points is as follows; Volkswagen Polo (347 points), Toyota iQ (337), Opel/Vauxhall Astra (221), Skoda Yeti (158), Mercedes-Benz E-Class (154), Peugeot 3008 (144) and the Citröen C3 Picasso (113).
The newest baby-Golf is due on Australian shores in the first half of next year. This news is sure to help the locals market the car down under. But, the news is so fresh that VW’s press team haven’t even had time to beat their chest. Nor has it made it to the Euro COTY website. I’ll be sure to update this article with Volkswagen’s press release once it comes to hand.

The European COTY sits nicely alongside the Golf’s current crown of Word COTY, which was awarded back in April.

Will most likely kick off with the same weasly 1.4 Petrol and mid to high range will have 1.2 TSI (replaces 1.6) and 1.6 TDI (replaces 1.9 TDI) engines respectively.

1.2 TSI will be the pick of the range from the reviews I've read
