The shortlist for the 2009 Car of the Year award has been announced, and the winner will be revealed at the Autocar Awards on November 17th. Seven cars are still in the running, whittled down from the 40 that were entered for the prize.
The finalists are the Alfa Romeo Mito, the Citroen C5, Ford’s new Fiesta, the Vauxhall Insignia, the Renault Megane, Skoda’s new Superb and the Mk6 VW Golf.
The competition is judged by 59 of Europe’s best-respected motoring journalists from 23 countries and is organised by Europe’s leading car magazines, including Autocar. Our own Steve Cropley is one of the UK members of the COTY jury.
We’ll have full details of the COTY winner after the ceremony, as well as the winners of the other categories of the Autocar Awards.

Re: Car of the Year shortlist announced
Doesn't make sense does it!
This is possibly why Dave (the television station...... bloody stupid name!) have done their "Car of the Year" program. It is more relevant to the public as they are all cars you can buy and they are broken down in to categories. Much more sensible.
Great idea, rubbish presentation of the programme though!
Re: Car of the Year shortlist announced
Only one of my Top Three choices appears on that list, (the Fiesta). Now what?!
