[...] Following on from where we left, the World car of the year awards have been announced and the most coveted of them all has gone to the VW Polo. [...]
If I was decideing on the winner, I’d pick a Kia Soul. The 2011 Soul features unique styling and great powertrain technology, so it should win the contest.
Just two cents from a happy Kia Soul owner who reads a daily updated: kia cars blog.
