The Carsales People's Choice Awards - car shoppers get their say!

Australia's favourite place to buy, sell and research cars, the carsales.com.au network, has updated its new car awards for 2006.

For a start, we've changed the name. Now called the carsales.com.au People's Choice Awards, the new format reflects the nature of these awards, and the fact they are unique. Indeed, the Carsales People's Choice Awards are the only awards where car shoppers determine the winners of each category.

And speaking of categories we've fine-tuned them as well. Based on the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries' (FCAI) new vehicle sales reporting segments, the carsales.com.au People's Choice Awards covers categories that best represent the cars you buy.

How did we choose?
During the year, carsales.com.au network users conducted millions of searches and sent hundreds of thousands of enquiries on both new and used cars. As a result, carsales.com.au knows exactly which cars Australian car buyers are looking at.

From that point, there is nothing tricky at all about how each category is awarded. They are not chosen by our journalists or car testers, or manufacturers, or industry bodies - the decision is via popular vote by Australian car shoppers.

From January 1 to December 31, 2006, every time a carsales.com.au network user placed an enquiry on a new car, it counted as a vote towards the People's Choice Awards.

As such, the carsales.com.au People's Choice awards recognise and reward the most popular new cars during 2006. Think of it as the ultimate popularity contest for cars in Australia. It's that simple!
