My judgement is based on following grounds:

Why Fiesta? The answer could be simple: because is a step forward the mazda2 finished second last year. More seriously, i believe is the most significant car in the row in terms of downsizing, design, efficiency and price/contents ratio.

Golf VI is “the” perfect car, the true testimonial of the state of the art in mass production, which proves it is still possible to improve an icon.

Insignia, by itself, demonstrates Opel (GM) owns the skill to develop a car with a nice appeal, very good engines and good looking too. I appreciated the driveability and the refined up to date electronics; not enough in my book to be the winner but the right way to find the respect of the customer, pushing up the brand image.

About the other preffered cars i’m surprised of the Superb’s handling and quality, I love the Mégane roadholding and i feel the new C5 is the proper heir of the best Citroën tradition.

MiTo? The car is definitely exciting in every aspect, but I love so much Alfa Romeo to be very strict: I mean the Alfa badge deserves (and needs) something more than performance and look.
