Car of the Year 2017, the Peugeot 3008, was announced in Palexpo on the eve of Geneva Motor Show press day. The new 3008, awarded 319 points by the 58 Jury members, had a close run with the Alfa Romeo Giulia (296 points). In the progressive display of voting and points country by country and juror by juror, the Giulia first reached the 3008, then surpassed it at mid-distance of vote, before the Peugeot changed the balance on its favour.
