Car of the Year (COTY) is a common abbreviation for numerous automotive awards.[citation needed]
The "Car of the Year" phrase is considered to have been introduced by Motor Trend magazine in 1949 when the new publication named Cadillac as Motor Trend Car of the Year.[1][2][3]
Other publications and various organizations also have developed COTY recognitions.[citation needed]
The Australian automobile magazine Wheels began an award in 1963.[citation needed]
In 1964, a jury of European automotive journalists began selecting the European Car of the Year award.[citation needed]
Many COTY awards focus on regional markets, vehicle types, or market segments.[citation needed] An example is the "tow car of the year" in the UK (for pulling travel trailers).[4] or the COTY AJAC award in Canada.[citation needed]
