2014 Results
From here: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...ists-announced
From an original field of several dozen cars, jurors in the 2014 World Car of the Year awards have whittled the list of contenders down to just a handful of finalists. This year, a new category for the World Luxury Car of the Year has been added, joining existing categories for the best World, Performance, Design and Green cars.
A winner for each category will be announced at the 2014 New York Auto Show on April 17, but before then we’ll see the list of finalists made even shorter, with just three cars to remain in each category before the final round of voting is done prior to the show in New York.

I would say the "Most Disappointing Car from Concept to Production" and nominate Subaru as a company. No one screwed up nice concept designs / lines and made bland cars than Subaru. And that hurts me to say it.
