A 35 strong list of vehicles that are available now or will be before the end of the year has been announced for the 2012 Car of the Year competition. To be eligible, the vehicles had to be sold in at least five European markets, and each have to have a chance at 5,000 sales per year.
The competition will run in two stages, with the 35 to be thinned out to just seven, a new list being announced next year on January 9th. The second round will select the final winner which will be announced on Mach 5h, 2012.
We don’t want to pick favorites, but names like the new BMW 1-Series, Ford Focus, Kia Picanto, Porsche 911 and VW’s Beetle stand out at first glance.
Here’s the full list of candidates for the Car of the Year 2012:
