TOP GEAR AWARDS 2007 - Best Small Car

Well, it seems that JC's cohorts don't agree with him about the Clubman because they have awarded it the "Best Small Car" of 2007.

Despite what their "Columnist " wrote the Top gear review was good and quite balanced.

From the TG website.

Small Car of the Year: Mini Clubman

'There's no avoiding the conclusion that this car is, of course, wildly over-complex. But, in the right environment or with the right driver, the Mini in Clubman form remains a draw. This is still a Mini and yet it's also something fresh. And you know what? That's enough.'

Peter Grunert

Wondered why the Fiat didnt win? it did best city car.

The 500 is at best a practical city car with jewelry and cutesy looks which is interesting but has yet to develop into anything with longevity in terms of repeat customers. I really thought it would be a true MINI competitor until I saw one in the flesh and started to look at it in detail. It's on sale here in the UK now isn't it? I've not noticed any

Not on sale until 3rd week of Janaury hence none to be seen just yet
