Power to the people... That's the key message behind the carsales People’s Choice Awards – facelifted and revamped for 2012. That's right – you decide who wins.
Using the carsales network editorial team, motoring.com.au's, Recommended Cars as the finalists, carsales People's Choice Awards give our audience the chance to choose the most popular vehicles across 13 key categories.
The cars have been carefully chosen by our team of full time automotive journalists and key contributors.
The motoring.com.au crew drives literally hundreds of new cars each year and it has chosen what we believe are the best of the new car crop. In many cases the choices are based on multiple drives of multiple variants of each car in each category. motoring.com.au also had the opportunity, in a number of categories, to drive the best cars back to back.
And unlike some other ‘recommendations’, carmakers’ marketing and advertising departments are NOT involved in the process of selection – meaning vested interests hold no sway and the public can vote with confidence.
The 13 award categories for carsales People's Choice essentially correspond with search options across carsales network websites including www.carsales.com.au, CarPoint.com.au, Redbook.com.au and motoring.com.au. They are defined by Redbook data including such factors as RRP, size, passenger capacity and other category specific factors.
