VE World Car Of The Year Finalist
Holden's new VE Commodore, developed at a cost of more than $1 billion, has been nominated for the World Car of the Year Award and is the only Australian-made vehicle among the 28 finalists.
The award, presented by a worldwide jury of motoring journalists, is judged according to styling, performance, handling, comfort, value, safety and environmental responsibility.
To be eligible, a new car must be available in a minimum of five countries on at least two continents.
Seems that Holden benchmarking the Euros may well pay off with some International recognition.. Will try and track down the Awards site, the quote above was taken from http://.au/business/stor...51-462,00.html
