The lucky seven are (in alphabetical order) the BMW i3, Citroen C4 Picasso, Mazda3, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Peugeot 308, Skoda Octavia and Tesla Model S.

The final decision will be made based on the decision of 58 members from 22 European countries. A winner will be decided on March 3rd, 2014, at the Geneva Motor Show.

The best around the office seem to focus around the Tesla Model S, BMW i3 and a couple of the affordable, the Skoda and Mazda. Remember, these are not just British journalists voting, and the Tesla is a best-seller in Norway. We wouldn't be surprised if another electric car won the Car of the Year award, after the Opel Ampera in 2012 and the Nissan Leaf a year before that.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
