Round one is over for the COTY 2007. But instead of having 7 nominees, this year we're going to have 8 cars compete (from a total of 41 contenders) for the first place as there was a tie in points for the seventh place. For the final vote, the 58 members of the jury will have to apportion 25 points among at least five cars, providing a written justification of their choice. If you're asking for my personal opinion, I think that the three most prominent players for the first place are the Citroen C4 Picasso, Ford SMax and Honda Civic. The result will be announced on November 13th, 2006.- Citroen C4 Picasso
 - Fiat Grande Punto
 - Ford S-Max
 - Honda Civic
 - Opel/Vauxhall Corsa
 - Peugeot 207
 - Skoda Roomster 
 - Volvo C30
