Each year a jury made from auto specialists are working together to decide which car is the best. The competition is known as Car of the Year and here are the 30 candidates that will compete for the 2014 title.
This year jury is made from 58 members representing 22 European countries. The 30 vehicles are new models that are already on sale or will go on sale by the end of this year in at least five European markets. More than that, the candidates have to gather a minimum of 5.000 unit foreseeable annual sales.
