Media release came through this morning...

Best Sports Car under $80,000:

BMW 135i Coupe
Volkwagen Golf Gti
Volkswagen Golf R

Personally I don't think the beemer stands a chance. But which of the two Golfs will win?

Best Small Car under $35,000:

Honda Civic VTi
Hyundai i30 SX
Volkswagen Golf 118 Tsi

Again, I don't really see either of the Asian entries winning...

The VW Group got nominated in almost every other categories but i'm too lazy to post in the Polo, Passat, Tiguan, Audi and Skoda forums...
