What Car? magazine likes to call their annual Car of the Year awards the "Motoring Oscars," but without Joan River's annoying cackle, is any award like this really worth anything. Oh wait...
This year, the 30th for the awards, the Vauxhall's Corsa was crowned the top car (see image gallery of the Corsa VXR Supermini here), and Toyota/Lexus won the Green Award, which recognizes "the company's achievements in leading the development of hybrid and clean diesel engines." Toyota and Lexus won the same award last year. One factor that led to the Corsa's win was that it was "environmentally friendly," according to Steve Fowler, What Car?'s group editor.
As for the Green Award, Fowler said at the award ceremony that, "Climate change is of increasing concern to car buyers and Toyota and Lexus are doing more than anyone else to offer consumers low-CO2 vehicles. Other manufacturers have been slow out of the blocks when it comes to environmental matters – we'd like to see more low-CO2 vehicles launched as a matter of priority."
