Although a lot of 2015 European cars are still far from being released, the (European) Car of The Year Awards have already unveiled a provisional list of candidates for next year’s award and it currently consists of 33 cars.
It appears that the organization hasn’t closed its doors to other upcoming models though, as the final list will be issued on the first day of December 2014, after which they will have to pass through two stages of a voting process.
The first round of voting will have as a result a short list of just seven remaining candidates – which will be announced on December 15, 2014 – while the second stage will produce a single all-round winner of the Car of The Year Award, which will be revealed right before next year’s edition of the Geneva Motor Show, on March 2.
Without further ado, this is the provisional list of nominees for the Car of The Year 2015 award, in alphabetical order:
Audi TT
