As we edge towards the end of the year, the list of NST-Maybank COTY 2009 nominees grows longer.
This list is not final though. As the judges sit down for their meetings, the list can either grow longer or shorter.
Judges will debate on the nominees, and according to the last meeting held on July 28 2009, it has been decided that all minor facelift models should not be enlisted again.
As for model variants, the judges have agreed that all variants should be included, and the judges will judge them individually. This is a good move as some of the model variants offer very good value for money, an area deemed very important in our domestic market as our cars are rarely cheap.
For cars that are not tested (no test car for example), they will still be in the final list but with a note to explain that the cars were not tested.
