The shortlist for the 2023 European Car of the Year demonstrates that it is made by shockingly incompetent car journalists.
Only three can be called modern-architecture-car-technology models. Two models are based on transitional technology, with both a tailpipe version and a battery electric version. The last two are just yesteryear’s technology. The journalists show that they think a horse-drawn buggy is a worthwhile competitor to the Ford Model-T and all the other engine-powered cars.
That leaves the Volkswagen ID.Buzz and Nissan Ariya as serious contenders for the European Car Of The Year award chosen by 61 journalists from 23 countries. That is a very short shortlist. They should have usedThe ID.Buzz is long awaited by many fans of the old hippie bus. It is a nostalgic product that offers good value for money. It is built on the MEB platform, just like a dozen other models of the Volkswagen Group.
The jurors do not award points for every condition. They each distribute their 25 points over the 7 candidates with a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 0. It is based on their very personal opinion, and sometimes a bit on national pride.
