Asta Qauliyah — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:15:11 +0000

With the new edition of the VW Golf has finally done. The best-selling car in Germany was in this year of the auto motor und sport readers the first time since 2004, again the best car in the lower middle class elected. An appreciation for the engineers, designers and managers in Wolfsburg, after the past four years, the Audi A3 and colleagues from Ingolstadt beaten had to pass.

Best Cars 2009

But otherwise it has in the auto motor und sport “readers choice” Best Cars 2009 “a few changes on the top places where. For example, the Mercedes S-Class in 2007 won top ranking in the luxury class is not against the new BMW 7 Series defend. On the contrary, the S-class coincided with a decrease of 11.6 percent of the vote even behind the Audi A8 to the third place.

Audi can not repeat dream result
Audi may be the result of a dream from 2008 are not repeated, but defended three of the four in the previous year, brought in top rankings: The new A4 comes with 35.3 percent of the vote clearly the most readers in the middle category.

The runners-up will land the BMW 3 Series with over eleven percent residue, followed by the Mercedes C-Class. With fourth place and 5.4 percent of the votes, the new Opel flagship Insignia a first consideration to celebrate success. Another 5.4 percent, the VW Passat, followed by the Ford Mondeo.

The Best Cars 2009

Amazingly, the very good performance by Audi (38.4 percent) in the upper middle class. Despite its very long duration, the A6, the BMW 5 Series competitor (21.0 percent) and Mercedes CLS (16.0 percent), is clearly behind him.

In the SUV category was the Audi transition seamless. After 2008 the Q7 has received the most votes, is this year’s Q5 with 15.6 percent in the first place. Surprisingly weak is also the performance of the new Mercedes GLK. Its angular design like only 7.7 percent of the participants. That’s enough behind the BMW X5 (10.5 percent) and Mercedes G-Class (nine percent) for fourth place.

The M-class adopted in 2009 from the top six, last year she was still 11.4 percent of the votes. Overall, this reader the Mercedes-choice supporters do not have good memories remain: 2009 does not create a single model, a first rank. However, the renowned brand in Germany last year after most of the VW cars sold.

VW from acknowledges

The top volume brand in the country since it was made better: In addition to the lower middle class could also categories VW cars and vans to choose. Even in the phasing of polo is in this segment for the reader the clear number one (30.1 percent). Well come to the new Ford Fiesta, with an increase of 11.2 percent compared to the last election from seventh to second rank improved.

Alfa Romeo has also in the car a successful debut. On the first try, the Mito the Opel Corsa behind and squeezed in the import last year’s scoring champion Skoda Fabia with a clear lead of 18 percent in the second place. The Fabia lost over 2008 over eight percent.

The expected breakthrough in the Minis creates the Fiat 500 is not. Although the advantage of 0.4 percent is not exactly abundant, the mini remains the number one in this category.
As a consolation to the 500 patch is still the top place in the import standings. Despite good sales figures, the Smart Fortwo against Mini and Fiat 500 chance.

Another first place goes to an Italian car: The Ferrari California is the Aston Martin DB9 Volante in the import-convertible scoring. The California replaces his brother as the most popular F430 Spider Convertible import from. The overall scoring wins again in 2009 the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, which is last year’s victory against the Mercedes SL may be repeated.

In comparison to last year is the advantage of only 1.4 percent but much lower. 2008, the Porsche still about twice as many votes as the Mercedes. Overall, it is also the performance of BMW remarkable: Among the six most popular convertibles may contact 3er, 1er and Three BMW 6 Series models place.

Porsche sports car gets title back

After the humiliation in the previous year, the Audi R8 as the first place, this gossamer Porsche won the prestigious sports car rankings. With 26.1 percent of the penalty is the R8 (26.0 percent) just behind. That the import back to a scoring Aston Martin is, like the spectacular scenes of the new James Bond film is. Winner DB9/DBS and V8 Vantage place is the 2009 Ferrari F430 model.

British models are also in the SUV category traditionally strong, and so wins the Range Rover Sport (10.4 percent) re-evaluation of the import offroaders. Good place may also Volvo’s answer to the trend towards more compact SUV, the XC 60 achieved at least third place.

Citroen C5 and Skoda Superb instead Jaguar XF
A Jaguar on the other hand, must defeat insert. 2008 certainly provided the design of the XF for a win, but the positive impression faded among the participants of the readers seem to choose something. It was previously not particularly fascinating design struck VW sister brand Skoda is now running with the top model in the Jaguar XF Superb (minus 3.2 percent) rank as the best import car in the upper middle class from.

Another newcomer is the Citroën C5, the import of the middle ranking can decide for themselves. The new design of the French brand came with the introduction of the C6 with the readers quite well. The C5 is also noticeable, but not quite as avant-garde designs such as the C6.

A mixture which appears to auto motor und sport readers convinced. Last year’s winner Alfa Romeo 159 will this year only a third party, the second rank goes to the Skoda Octavia. The best Japanese model succeeds the Lexus IS with 9.1 percent, once again only one respect success.

VW Vans firmly in hand
The category of vans is traditionally a stronghold of VW. In the last five years, the first ever place in the VW Multivan, and it has also not changed. The remains Bulli the favorite of readers. On the other seats, however, there are some changes. In recent years, the Ford S-Max with its sporty design behind the Multivan place. This is the second rank, however, the small VW Touran brother.

And not because more readers than ever before have voted for him: The Touran is almost exactly a year earlier. The reason for the jump are the losses at Ford: The S-Max loses four percent of voice.

Import scoring in the vans is also a series winner. First, as practiced in the five years before the Renault Espace. The distance to the pursuers, however, shrinks from year to year. The advantage of the second Skoda Roomster 2009 is only 0.7 percent.

Maserati Quattroporte as permanent winners
With each year of the Maserati Quattroporte import ranking in the luxury class of its own decisions, it becomes clear what a great throw designer Sergio Pininfarina with the model succeeded. About 15 percent separate the runners from Maserati Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Phantom – two rivals who also rightly as a real dream cars can be described. The Quattroporte is the three German model BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Mercedes S-Class is the most popular luxury sedan, the reader.

For Seat, the cork in this year really loud bang. Unlike Spanish, the Maserati brand in ten years no success in the readers choice “Best Cars” more celebrate. This year it’s finally arrived: The Seat Leon occupied the first rank in the import of lower middle-ranking. With the narrow margin of 0.6 percent, he is against the Alfa Romeo 147 by.

The fascination of the unusual layout Volvo C30 does not seem long to have stopped. Last year’s winner loses 4.4 percent and slipping to third place from. Also, the sales figures in Germany in 2008 remained below expectations.

But not only vehicles with an unusual design made it difficult in 2008. In the discussions around the car last crisis was the fascination, the new models still on the car enthusiasts to exercise a little under. The diversity of 336 cars for the auto motor und sport of choice were, among participants that will hopefully re-awakened.
