| | Audi 6, Named As the World Car of the Year, Offers World Class Parts at PartstrainWritten by Jenny McLane
Among list of thirty six new vehicles out of market before January 1, 2005 for at least five countries, on at least two continents, Audi 6 was named as World Car of Year for 2005. This was held during media preview for Canadian International Auto Show held last February 16, 2005 in Toronto. The decision came out from forty eight international automobile journalists representing sixteen countries that acted as jury. They use twenty separate parameters including acceleration, braking, vehicle dynamics, safety features, cargo, and off road capabilities. They then selected top 10 vehicles for final round of voting. The final selection was rated on five key areas of importance to costumers: merit, value, safety and environmental responsibility, significance, and wow factor! - car's emotional appeal. The secret ballots were then collected and tabulated by KPMG, an international accounting firm. The World Car of Year programme is administered as a non-profit corporation with a Steering Committee of six journalists who oversee and monitor integrity of voting process. The Audi 6 surpasses Volvo S40-V50 and Porsche 911 in a close race to be declared as World Car of Year. "The concept of national borders is now almost non-existent in terms of where vehicles and their components are designed, engineered, developed, and built ... or where they are sold," said British automotive journalist, Graham Johnson, who is also a co-chair of award program. "Considering ever-increasing globalization of automotive industry," he added, "the concept of a World Car of Year award program was inevitable ... it is truly an idea whose time has come."
