Somaca issued the following announcement on Nov. 30.

Of the 38 cars eligible this year, the 60 jury members from 23 European countries were invited to choose 7 models for the final. The Alpine A110 is the only two-seater sports car. As every year, journalists vote according to several criteria: design, safety, comfort, handling, technological innovations, consumption, or the cost of use.

In February 2019, the 7 nominated cars will be thoroughly tested by all the members of the jury on the CERAM test circuit in Mortefontaine (near Paris). The winner will be announced on Monday, March 4th, on the eve of the first press day of the Geneva Motor Show.
