The best ‘real world’ sports car?

15.March, 2007 @08:03     Coupe News

The online poll conducted on MSN Cars saw the BMW 3 Series Coupé drive into poll position with 23 per cent of the votes – nearly double that of the second placed car. Readers rated the 3 Series Coupé above the Ferrari 599GTB because of its looks, drivability and its unbeatable brand-image.

Tom Evans, manager of MSN Cars, said: “After two years where the winners were the brilliant but somewhat inaccessible Aston Martin DB9 and Bugatti Veyron, it’s great that our users chose the BMW 3 Series Coupé – a car that many may end up driving sooner or later. It’s a cracking looking car, and great to drive too, making it a worthy winner.”

News of the award comes as the BMW 335i has been shortlisted for the title of 2007 World Performance Car and the BMW Hydrogen 7 for the title of 2007 World Green Car. Both models have made the cut from an initial entry list of 28 vehicles to a shortlist of three vehicles per category. The brace of BMWs have been chosen and voted on by an international jury comprising 44 of the world’s leading automotive journalists from 22 countries. The results of the 2007 World Car of the Year awards will be announced at the New York International Auto Show on 5 April, 2007.

_WHAT_IS_COUPE

A coupe (or coupé) is a two or four-seater car with a fixed roof and two doors. The style is generally used for sportier models in a manufacturer's range.In the 19th century, a coupé was a carriage with two doors enclosing seating for two with an exposed area on the front for a driver. In recent times it has become very common for a coupe's roof to slope down at the back in a shallow 'streamlined' fashion.This is sometimes called a 'fastback' design. Speakers of American English pronounce the word to rhyme with "sloop" (IPA) /ku:p/).and spell it without an accent. In Europe and the UK, the original French spelling and a semi-French pronunciation are often used — ( /'ku:pe?/).
