This year’s Car of the Year shortlist strikes me as one of the most interesting for years, because of the variety. The seven-strong list of finalists for Europe’s most important “best car” competition — by virtue of the fact that it garners the opinions of 59 jurors from 22 countries — is often sometimes regarded as rather prosaic by critics.
