From an initial entry list of twenty-seven (27) eligible new vehicles, from all over the world, a short list of ten finalists for the inaugural World Car of the Year award was released today. A jury of 46 international automotive journalists selected the finalists by secret ballot, based on their experience with all the entrants. The jury’s next step is to re-evaluate the “Top Ten” vehicles, in preparation for a final round of voting in March. The cars are: BMW 3-Series , Honda Civic, Land Rover Range Rover Sport, Lexus IS, Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz M-Class , Mercedes-Benz S-Class , Porsche Cayman S, Suzuki Swift, and Volkswagen Passat.
