According to our friends over at Winding Road, MINI has made the cut!
>Following up from the quarter-finalists announcement in January, now the 44 international judges that make up the World Car of the Year awards jury have let out their top-three lists in the categories Green Car, Car Design, Performance Car, and the overall World Car of the Year for the 2007 model year. The winners are to be announced at the awards ceremony held at the New York Auto Show on the morning of April 5.
[ World Car Of The Year Semi-Finalists Announced ] Winding Road
hmm.. made the final 3 for overall world car of the year..
saying it won car of the year would be great.. saying it came in 2nd or 3rd doesn’t have the wow factor – even if it is very good.
cross fingers
Good to see this!
Good to see Mini in the running, deffinetly tough competition though. While I am pulling of course for the Mini I wouldn’t be suprised if the TT walks with it.
Is the entire line of MINI under consideration? Seems an official list like that should include a model name for every car in the finals.
Does winding road usually make this kind of omission?
I believe it is the entire line. Not sure if the World Car organization makes a model specific decision or not, so I wouldn’t blame Winding Road.
