El E90 pega fuerte en USA, nunca lo esperé dado lo compacto ( y como a contracorriente) del coche y la tendencia al "descangalle" de ese mercado: tras haber batido todos los records de ventas de todos los anteriores serie 3 en noviembre y haber repasado en ventas a toda la concurrencia ( http://www.bmwfaq.com/showthread.php?t=89403&highlight=record ) ... ahora recibe este premio, en el que por cierto se diría que el listón está aparentemente allí más alto que en Europa ( y no solo viendo el ganador (E90 :cool: ) sino los finalistas o lo que alli denominan "All Stars" : M5, Corvette Z06 y Mini entre ellos ). Enhorawena a los E90éros y E60eros ;-) El link a Automobile Magazin: http://automobilemag.com/news/2006_automobile_of_the_year/
Por cierto, leo que hay otro "semi-BMW" premiado ....el Pontiac Solstice se ha llevado el galardón al "Diseño del Año" Mirad su frontal riñonero
Muy wapos los dos coches. El E90 me gusta bastante y espero con ansias el coupé, q espero q no nos defraude. El Solstice es otro coche de los nuevos q me molan bastante.
La lista completa, con premio a la innovación en la utilización del magnesio del 6L 3.0 litros, incluido: :supz: The 2006 AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE top industry honors were awarded to: * Automobile of the Year: BMW 3-series--The latest version of BMW's superior sport sedan drove off with this year's top award. The 3-series is a testament to BMW's commitment to excellence and to the company's long-term thinking. BMW has produced a car that is the gold standard for its class, something that all other automakers feel they have to measure up to. A car that continues to get better and better with every evolution. * Design of the Year: Pontiac Solstice--With brilliant Franz von Holzhausen styling, this is one of the rare concept cars that went into production and came out almost exactly the same. It's cool, it's smooth, it's exciting, and thanks to some clever engineering, it's a good drive, too. * Technology of the Year: BMW's Magnesium-Clad 3.0-Liter N52 Engine--Pundits are calling magnesium this century's "wonder metal." BMW's astute material selection achieved a 24% weight reduction for the 3-series, which saved 22 pounds and increased peak output by 30 hp with no mileage loss. This earns BMW's twelfth-generation I-6 engine top honors. The 2006 AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE All-Stars are: * All-Star: BMW M5--Aside from this car being insanely fast, this is the first ultra-exotic vehicle with a sedan body that can be driven every day. * All-Star: Chevrolet Corvette Z06--One of the best performance cars ever made, the driver gets more speed and sheer energy for their dollar. * All-Star: Mini Cooper--This modestly priced, front-wheel-drive hatchback with great fuel economy is actually an exotic sports car in disguise and yet can still function as simple transportation. * All-Star: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution--The ultimate boy racer, it's lightweight, has quick responses, and is dominated by its engine. * All-Star: Porsche Boxster--This vehicle has been deemed the sports car from heaven, with even more horsepower than last year's - a whopping 276 hp. * All-Star: Subaru Legacy--This vehicle plays multiple roles--sport sedan, all-weather family car, reasonably economical daily driver--giving itself well-deserved honors as an All-Star.
