Happy new year one and all:) Hope theres not too many sore heads about!!...Just a wee question...How can a car be car of the year 2011 on the 1st of jan 2011? Am i missing something here?!!

K:)

And its an electric car that hasnt even been in the public domain ?

The COTY is pretty worthless as it stands, specially in this case, it was like giving President Obama a Nobel Prize when he came into office & Ryan Giggs the Sports personality for 2009, when they both hadn't done anything of outstanding achievement ?????
