Finalists For The 2015 Car Of The Year Announced
Each year, the World Car Awards association (composed of automotive journalists and members of the industry) awards a few notable vehicles with a well-deserved distinction.
Prizes are split into 5 groups: Car Of The Year, Luxury Car Of The Year, Performance Car Of The Year and Green Car Of The Year (nothing to do with the actual colour of their bodywork!). To be admissible, a car has to be an all-new model or have received a significant upgrade for 2015.
