The little Volkswagen doesn't have stand out good looks, but the Up! is an extremely clever, functional design that simply works. Isn't that was excellent design is all about?

Oh dear I bet they vote for one of those electric cars which has half a tonne of toxic lithium batteries on board. Unfortunates who buy them have not considered the environmental impact when they fail after 500 recharges, say 3 to 6 years hence.

I thought the Vauxhall Ampera had already been voted car of the year, but it doesn't even appear in this list?

No GTR?? Ok i get it, if the GTR was included they would have to just anounce it being car of the year without any chance of other car makes included. So the GTR's a goodfella giving others a chance. For other GTr lovers check out the AMS GTR Alpha 12.....veyron chaser...

@age_pringle There's also a saying that goes like this "If you advertise on Msn article comment, it won't get you anywhere". Now GET OFF THIS PAGE!
