And the winner is...small, economical, and very, very environmentally concious.
The identity of the winner may have been leaked a week or 2 earlier, but for those who don't know, its the Fiat 500. Here's a picture of the supermini in question..
The 500 seals Fiats 9th win of the prestigious ECotY award and furthers the companies 'peaoples-champion' comeback from near dissapearance only a few years ago.
Building on a strong safety compliment (5-star Euro NCAP score) the 500 has gone green by aiming for and achieving the stringent forthcoming Euro 5 emissions regs. This approach and the overall simple, clean efficiency of the 500 is bound to win consumers hearts in these times of rocketing petrol prices and socio-environmental kudos.
Coming in to the UK from £8,000 this little mini-ite is going to prove a hard nut for other manufacturers to crack in the increasingly competitive small-car (Euro 'A' sector) marketplace.
Small, safe, trendy, stylish and affordable.. dont be surprised if the awards keep on coming in 2008.
