April 1, 2010 The VolkswagenPolo -- a vehicle unavailable in the United States -- was named World Car of the Year today. The announcement at the 2010 New York International Auto Show comes at a time when car makers are shifting their emphasis to small, fuel-efficient cars.
"The vehicle that we're seeing now is all about efficiency," said Charlie Vogelheim, executive editor of Intellichoice.com.
The Polo is Volkswagen's most popular subcompact. It's a small bubble of a car that follows a formula that has worked for the German manufacturer before.
"Good proportion, not complicated design, and last but not least, elegance," said Volkswagen's Walter de Silva.
