    We've got another 3 weeks or so to wait for the official announcement. The award is not due to be announced until the next issue of the magazine on January 21. There's usually an announcement on Australian TV the night before the magazine comes out.
    I'm sure there are some people out there who know what the winner is. The magazine's editor certainly will know. The winning manufacturer probably knows. But in past years, they've managed to keep a lid on the result right up until publication time.

    However, that Ford ad is interesting. If the FG Series does indeed win, then it will be easy for Ford to update that ad to include the Wheels award.

    Also, I'm still surprised by how many people are voting for the Audi A4. See my earlier post. Can anybody really tell me that it is worth the extra money over a Mazda6 or Honda Accord Euro?

    Also, an additional point. We should probably all be listening to IB4R's tip of the Tiguan. I've got the winner wrong every year since the last time a Falcon (the BA series in 2002) won the award. I think IB4R's record at tipping the winner is far better than mine.

    are you serious? of course it is, and it's just as bad value here as it is elsewhere

    I've heard nothing but good things about the Tiguan, it will definitely be a contender. I don't think it will be enough to trump the Falcon though. Dare I say certain politics could work in favour of the Falcon..

    It would also be pretty embarrasing if it didnt and theyve just started that ad, and assumably the winning manufacturer would run an ad pretty soon afterwards.

    If I remember correctly Holden did something similar with the VE Commodore around the Christmas/New Year period, starting an ad on TV announcing that the Commodore had won the Carsguide Car of the Year and People's Choice awards. And then updated the ad after the Wheels award was announced later in January 2007 with the line "And now, Wheel's Car of the Year" added to the ad.

    I can tell you it isn't. As with any Audi.
