Yep.
That award judging is by all motoring groups in Australia.

Oh well, hopefully when a new model comes out all groups will say it's out, but they are scared of getting the  vehicle objectively appraised.   :lol:

I think it only reinforces their arrogance or maybe stupidity. What kind of message  does that send to the public? :fum:
