The prize-giving ceremony of the "Car of the Year 2004" trophy, which a jury of 58 trade journalists from 22 European countries awarded to the Fiat Panda, was held this evening in Paris, at the Hotel D'Evreux in the beautiful setting of the Place Vendome. It is the first time that a "supermini" model has won the title, which is the most important awarded to the motor industry.
