The Honda CR-Z is Japan's Car of the Year, and the Volkswagen Polo adds another award

We are approaching December and the end of the year, and with it comes the final result of the Car of the Year votes. We cannot overlook Japan, still one of the strongest markets and home to the legendary Japanese brands, where the Car of the Year vote has taken place and where the Honda CR-Z has been selected.

The CR-Z was chosen on the basis of its hybrid technology and its “fun character”, according to the considerations raised by the jury. I must say that I very much doubt it would have become Japan’s Car of the Year had it not been a hybrid.

Some other awards, given by representatives of the industry and specialist press of the land of the rising sun, went to the Volkswagen Polo with its 1.2 TSI engine, which adds another award to its collection, apart from having been named Car of the Year at the New York Motor Show.
