Kleine Zeitung
Gerhard Nöhrer (Austria)
My judgement is based on following grounds:
Opel Insignia
Never before have Opel work so passionately on a new model as they have on the new Insignia. It seems to have paid off. The new flagship is the biggest step forward in years and establishes new desire for the brand. The impressive and beautiful appearance, combined with the best interior of its class, represents real competition for the premium German carmakers. The fact is, you never felt so good in an Opel. One look at the Insignia family – the Sports Tourer is really smashing – supports this decisión.
Skoda Superb
The first generation seemed to be a mistake. Now you are stunned. In times like these the car has become a real option. Simply everything speaks for the Superb: its distinctive and self-confident appearance, luxurious spaciousness, top quality, the brilliant twindoor concept and a sensational price. Congratulations, Skoda has reached the upper class. Who would have believed it.
VW Golf
Admittedly, the new Golf is not really the eyecatcher. Revolutions look different. No need to explain that the sixth edition of Wolfsburg’s bestseller is the best ever. To sum it up, the Golf VI can not be topped anymore. More class, more quality, more elegance is not possible. The Golf VI has once more set the standards in its class, but you also get the feeling that the time for a radical cut has come.
Ford Fiesta
A very trendy compact car: modern, very stylish, environmentally-friendly and with a generous high-quality interior. Despite its compact dimensions everything fits. Mazda 2 basis gurantees a fun drive and great handling.
Renault Mégane
It’s funny, but its predecesor surprised us more. Although obviously this was its problem. The new generation follows the mainstream: very dynamic, huge, and very elegant. But is this Renault?
Alfa Romeo Mito
Alfa always hits us emotionally, and so does the new small one. The Mito is a typical Alfa with all its assets in just four meters. The gateway drug for young Alfisti – but no bargain.
Citroën C5
The C5 is a car people like. Citroën’s new style is absolutely distinctive, copying some details can be tolerated. A refreshing appearance.
