Well done Peugeot!!!
2017 EUROPEAN CAR OF THE YEAR WINNER ANNOUNCED!
The winner of the 2017 European Car of the Year award has been announced on the eve of the Geneva International Motor Show.
The Peugeot 3008, which is scheduled to launch in South Africa in July this year, drove away with the crown for 2017.
The French crossover beat six other finalists to the title: the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Citroën C3, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Nissan Micra, Toyota C-HR and Volvo S90/V90.
The 3008 impressed the judging panel with its combination of style, interior design and performance.
The vehicle is the fifth Peugeot to win the Car of the Year prize and the first SUV to be honoured with the accolade in its history. The brand’s success in the awards dates all the way back to 1969, when the 504 saloon scooped the award.
Back in November, the 58 jury members (motoring journalists from across Europe) whittled down the initial list to the seven finalists above.
In 2016, the Opel Astra took top honours, while 2015 belonged to the Volkswagen Passat, 2014 to the Peugeot 308 and 2013 to the Volkswagen Golf.

The Peugeot 3008 is European Car of the Year
Peugeot crossover takes the win from Alfa Giulia and Merc E-Class
Europe’s Car of the Year is the Peugeot 3008. It was a fairly slender win from the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Third was the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The other shortlisted cars were the Volvo S/V90, Citroen C3, Toyota C-HR and Nissan Micra.
The Peugeot was a steady scorer from nearly most judges, picking up praise for the fine cabin and powertrain choice.
The Alfa was loved by nearly all judges as a drivers’ car, but many pointed out there should be more to a car than that. And as Alfa shows no sign of offering alternative power or advanced driver assist, many felt it was too much of a minority-interest machine.

The Mercedes got lots of praise for its design, cabin quality and comfort, but in many European countries it’s expensive, and that held it back.
My own points differed: 7 for the Merc, 5 for the Alfa, 3 each for the Peugeot (its dynamics aren’t great) and the Volvo (love it but the Merc, especially on small wheels is better) and the Micra and C-HR. Just one point from me for the Citroen. I am very fond of the thing, but today all manufacturers really should make city auto-brake as standard and the Citroen lacks it. Statistics show it does prevent accidents.

I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing these on our roads. Maybe it'll give the other OEMs a small shakeup. A fully digital dash as standard? Never thought I'd see the day in South Africa on any car costing less than R400 000.

Yup. It's a huge selling point that all models have that fully configurable digital dash. The graphics & res looks excellent on the many vids I've seen.

And now FiestaST? You used "lovely new 3008" three times in three consecutive posts ... are you a Peugeot dealer? 
I do agree with you that I'm pretty excited to test drive the 3008, but I don't think I've ever seen you this enthusiastic in your wording about a car.

Lol....So the new Pug 3008 is not "lovely" then?
I used it mostly as a running gag in this context.
Mat from Carwow is just one of those blokes that brings a great does of humour to every review.
Also in my view the new 3008 is very possibly a make it or break it dealbreaker for PSA Group SA. It needs to do reasonably well. I will be posting the monthly NAAMSA sales figures for the 3008 so we can monitor it & see how it goes.
We do *not* want them to "pull out"....You know long SA heritage & all that I harp on about....lol

Pulling out is ok, so long as they don't stealth it on their way back in.
PS: The fact that 'stealthing' was all over News24 and CNN this week blows my mind.
