	Car of the Year 2005 - Renault Clio
		The car looks almost exactly like the Clio II, and although it has undoubtedly been improved and is a terrific little machine, its technology is as derivative as its looks.
		Last year, it looked liked the COTY jury had turned the corner when it crowned the Toyota Prius, the ground-breaking and brave design from Japan, which gave us the petrol-electric hybrid engine.
		But last year, the Prius was such a strong candidate, even these guys realised that another Fiat or Renault would reduce the prestige of COTY to a joke.

		The most important goal for the european car Grand Prix panel of testers was to identify that one car which is able to reach into the soul of the automotive enthusiast and arouse the desire to climb behind the steering wheel for the simple enjoyment of driving.
