The Volkswagen Polo has been chosen the European Car of the Year for 2010. The VW Polo had to compete against many cars. It excelled many world class cars in this stringent competition to win the 'most aspired' title. This award is also one of the oldest and most esteemed awards in Europe that started in 1964. Fifty-nine jurors from twenty-three European countries cast their votes in this tough competition.
The total number of participants of this year's 'European Car Of The Year' contest was thirty-three.The nearest competitor of the VW Polo was the Toyota iQ which managed to score 337 points while the Polo scored 347 points. The Volkswagen Polo scored 347 points with 59 votes and 25 vote wins followed by the Toyota iQ with 337 points, 58 votes and 20 vote wins. The Opel/Vauxhall Astra was third with 221 points, 55 votes and 5 vote wins. The Skoda Yeti scored 158 points, 54 votes and 4 vote wins with the Mercedes-Benz E-class scoring 155 points, 48 votes and 2 wins at the last of the top five contestants list.
The last time Volkswagen won this contest was way back in 1992 with its new third generation Golf which emerged victorious over the preference for the Opel Astra and the Citroen ZX. The rating and judgement have done on total value proposition of the car, not only on luxury aspects of the car. It is quite interesting to see that Polo has been voted above two well proven cars like that of Skoda Yeti and Mercedes Benz E-Class.
We are expecting Skoda Yeti in India in upcoming 2010 Auto Expo. So India will become another warfront for these German engineering marvels. Since its market launch in May of this year, Volkswagen has received over 130,000 orders for the new benchmark car of the compact class. The Polo is available as a dynamic 3-door and comfortable 5-door in Germany. As the Polo BlueMotion, just 3.3 litre fuel consumption makes it the most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly five-seater in the world. The Volkswagen Polo is India-bound.
The expected launch of the Polo in India is likely to be in the sidelines of the 2010 New Delhi Auto Expo. This hatchback which already has created some flutters in the Indian automotive circle with it's to be tagged speculated wallet-friendly price, seems to have announced its arrival in the Indian scene with this award. The starting price of the VW Polo is expected to be around Rs 4.5 Lakh in India. The Indian version of Polo may be a stripped version of the European one.
