Well its that time of the year again for the 2009 European Car of the Year.
The Car of the Year is an international award, judged by a panel of senior motoring journalists across Europe. Its object is to acclaim the most outstanding new car to go on sale in the 12 months preceding the date of the title.
The Jury for the Car of the Year 2009 consists of 59 members, representing 23 European countries.
