A panel of Journalists chose it from a group of 35 cars vying for the title. The Volt previously won the 2011 North American Car of the Year and World Green Car of the Year awards, as well as being being named Motor Trend’s Car of the Year.

Chevrolet Volt named 2012 European Car of the Year Just as meaningless as the Nobel prizes awarded to Obama and Gore.

Well since Europe is what, a fraction of the size of the US, I guess that proves it sucks for America.

Sad to hear that Opel is involved in this sham. My ‘64 hot-rodded Opel Manta was the most fun car I’ve ever owned!
To: ColdOne
How do you go from having absolutely no authority to speak on automotive questions to less than that?
Ask Motor Trend's editors. They seem to have succeeded.
To: ColdOne
Psst! Hey! You guys can achieve a historical first if you award the 2012 Peace Price to the Chevvy Volt!
That would sure make the cover of Time Magazine!

Something got lost in the translation. They didn’t mean car of the year, they meant JOKE of the year.

They tested both cars on Top Gear and neither won any praise at all. Both made it about 40 miles and they had to wait for an 8 hour charge.

Never underestimate Europe’s willingness to embrace a losing proposition.
To: ColdOne
Ah. The Europeans, who thought this was a good idea, are giving the Dolt an award.
Please excuse me while I don't give a crap.
