VW Up! is World Car of the Year

Updated



There are now almost as many ceremonies for car awards as ones for films. World Car of the Year (WCOTY) would like to become the Oscars, but it has a way to go over here where European Car of the Year is the big one.

Anyway, WCOTY has decided the VW Up (sorry, VW, we can't be bothered with silly exclamation marks) is Number One. In Europe, it came second to the Vauxhall Ampera, which did not even make the WCOTY shortlist - the Chevrolet Volt, which is the same car as the Ampera has got off to a poor start in the USA.
