The overall and category winners reflected a typical list that would have come from an all-male judging panel.

Nadine said

There is price and practicality, whether it’s safety and technology, comfort and driving dynamics. So I think all of the good cars are really always going to rise to the top, no matter who is judging them.

But she also said

I suspect that this time next year we’ll be looking at a very different list of contenders as well. I suspect as you move forward, things like emissions and even manufacturers carbon footprints might even play a part in cars that we decide to put forward.
