82nd Geneva Motor Show: Election of the Car of the Year 2012

For over 40 years, an international jury composed of journalists has elected a Car of the Year. For the first time, the winner for 2012 will be announced at the Geneva International Motor Show, which will open to the public from March 8-18, 2012 at PALEXPO. The organising committee for this prestigious trophy moved the announcement date from November to March so that it can be presented in the framework of the Geneva Motor Show.

On Monday, March 5, 2012, the day before the traditional press days, the votes for the 7 finalist cars will be counted and the winner announced to the audience of attending accredited journalists and the exhibitors of the Motor Show. The ceremony will take place in the Congress Centre at PALEXPO.

This trophy is awarded to the automobile manufacturer deemed to have the most extraordinary car in the view of the jury of 59 automobile journalists coming from 23 countries in Europe. All models launched on the European market during the previous year and having sold a minimum of 5000 units are eligible for this competition.

Marjo Kohler from the Swedish car magazine Vi Bilägare and President of the organizing committee, Car of the Year 2012 selection, announced: “We are very happy tocollaborate with the Geneva International Motor Show. Geneva proves an ideal communication platform for presenting this trophy.” The satisfaction is mutual. Andre Hefti, Managing Director of the Motor Show expressed this when he said “it is an honour to welcome this ceremony within the framework of our event”.
