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..
