Of the seven nominees, only two of the vehicles are available in the U.S., the Ford Mondeo which is known as the Fusion and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. While the Volkswagen Passat nameplate sounds familiar, the model offered in Europe is entirely different than what the U.S. gets.
The 2015 European Car of the Year will be announced at next year’s Geneva Motor Show in March.
