I 'm not sure about the Peugeot but all the others deserve the Golder Steering Wheel.

Seems like a respectable list. Thanks for posting.

Autobild readers, jury, mechanics, technicians and celebrities vote for the cars they feel should win in their respective classes. - hmm... Autobild readers should be dreaming more!

The Golden Steering Wheel awards are for the cars people feel stand out in their respective classes. - I don't agree that either the A4 or the 308 "STANDS OUT" but ok.

The Green Steering Wheel awards are environmentally motivated - WOW BMW WON a GREEN award

that's great!

Actually I think the new Peugeot's (and French cars in general) have become very competitive. They've also made great strides in improving their overall quality. I kind of like that little car too!

Why is that.. coz it's the only one that isn't German or isn't owned by a German company?

Sometimes you let your bias get the better of you. God forbid if Lexus was in that list...

Anyhow, interesting 'awards' this. Congrats to all the winners, and yes that includes Peugeot.

Great to see BMW's Efficient Dynamics getting an award there too.
