08 March 2011 BMW's 530d and VW's Polo 1.6 TDI Share Top Spot in 2011 SA Car of the Year Competition
 
History was made tonight when BMW's 530d and VW's Polo 1.6 TDI were announced as joint winners of the WesBank / South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) Car of the Year competition for 2011.
 
After a comprehensive voting process of all the full members and jury of the SAGMJ, and two full days of vigorous testing, and a final point allocation by the jury, the two cars could not be split on points, and thus both were awarded this prestigious accolade.
 
A full press release will be distributed shortly, and the full details of the scoring of the ten finalists and the jury members justifications will be available to be view at www.sagmj.org.za .
