Very happy to be participating in this event again after a year's hiatus.

In PCOTY, cars are judged on both quality and performance. This isn't a popularity contest, a la FHM's 100 ***iest Women. This is a straight up Miss Universe beauty pageant, complete with swimsuit competition, talent segment and question and answer portion.

PCOTY is judged by automotive journalists from various publications. It's a joint effort which we pour our time and love into to come up with the best results possible.

This year's class of all-new entries includes nearly sixty vehicles, and we tested all of them at Clark Raceway in just two days. This included acceleration tests, braking tests and handling tests. In other words, our performance testing is not only about speed, but also how well a car can deal with emergency situations on the road... something which consumers should be able to appreciate.

Time to place your bets. Lots of great new cars came out this year.
