A few winners from this year's list.

BMW 3 series, yet again, cleans up in compact saloon, the 5 series does the same in executive saloon, as does the S Class in luxury saloon.

The Civic Type R takes the hot hatch title, the Fiat Panda the City Car class.

MX-5 the small sports roadster.

Pretty much agree with all of those...

Still would never choose a Beemer though. Ubiquitous, and bad image.

Couldn't agree more - they appeal to 'certain' personality types.

to be more accurate ... people who want to buy what their peers perceive to be the best

I shall be trying a BMW out shortly. If I choose to buy one, it will be because I liked it more than the others I tried.

The fact that having one actually winds some people up would be of secondary importance......just Big Grin

That's daft, i've had 3 BMWs and they've all been excellent.
'Image' is a much over-used and over-rated quality, anyway.

Right on, Roma.

I have also heard it said that Porsche 911 buyers are a 'certain type'.

The people doing the 'judging', are usually those who will never be in a position to buy a 911...............

Alright, Alright! You may know that I am not BMW's biggest fan, but I have to make a point here.
The BMW 3 and 5 series do deserve awards, but not in the so-called "executive" classes.
Maybe they need their own special category.( "Well built and sporty", "Best cars from Bavaria"))

With the run-flat tyres and a suspension optimized for good handling, they simply don't give a ride luxurious enough to qualify for the description "executive".
