How do you choose the cars for the Indian Car Of The Year - ICOTY shortlist

[@shlok.shrivastav]

1) Is there a minimum no. of units that a manufacturer has to deliver to be considered? Or can a manufacturer 'paper launch' around half a dozen units and win? 2) Will the Green Car award become redundant in the future, because we've already got 3-4 (depending on if you count curvv) EVs nominated out of 8 cars for ICOTY? Also I took a brief look at the contenders and here's how I would vote: Roxx: 9 Curvv EV: 7 (though it didn't sell all that well) Punch: 6 Windsor: 4 Basalt: -1 BYD Seal or E-class for premium car award purely because the BMWs are ugly. Green Car Seal: 8 (only because of its CKD price, otherwise it'd be a 10 and it's joever for all of us. 你好.) Curvv: 7 Punch: 7 (gets bumped here because of its EV volumes) Windsor: 3 (Contradicting myself immediately afterwards by taking points off for it being ugly despite its volumes)

I won't comment on your scores although aesthetics do take a back seat when I score and I look at price and practicality more. On the deliveries front, no, there is no specific number and in the Premium Car category it could be in single digits.
