What about the umpteenth title for a car that did not sell well at all unlike what we want to believe, which is sold in a country (and also in test) and even in some states, and is currently down for many of the models sold and made the road! A trophy over to Carlos Ghosn has said seduced (??) before its garde, his (weak) performance and its price .... Is it necessary to say more, I do not think so!
The Chevrolet Volt, more relevant, viable but not yet quite reliable (the car catches fire!) unfortunately gets the title of Green Car of the Year with its hybrid engine that consumes between 1.4 and 1.8 L/100 km, which allows the car to travel some 450 km (110 km vs. the Leaf) with normal benefits and who will find in our market at the end of the year ... along with Leaf and Fluence ZE!
The Aston Martin Rapide wins her the title of best World Car of the Year and the Ferrari 458 Italia, the sport of the year before the SLS Mercedes AMG and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
Missing is the engine of Leaf wins the title of engine of the year! Too much greenwashing and vertitude abuse kills the efforts of the automotive world in terms of ecology!
And to greet this famous title, the short video on the famous polar bear rescued by Nissan and is in the tone of the approach of the ZE Renault-Nissan Alliance.
