Australia's most popular people-mover, the Kia VQ Carnival range, has earned the 2007 Carsales Network People's Choice Award in the People Mover category.
From 1 November 2006 to 31 October 2007, every time a Carsales Network user placed an enquiry on a new car, whether through carsales.com.au, carpoint.com.au or any of its affiliated websites, the enquiry counted as a vote in the 2007 Carsales Network People's Choice Awards.
Commenting on the 2007 People's Choice Awards, Carsales.com Managing Director and CEO, Greg Roebuck said: 'During 2007, hundreds of thousands of new car enquiries were placed across Carsales Network websites. That means we can determine exactly which new car models Australian buyers are looking at purchasing, and in that way, the People's Choice Awards are truly a vote by Australian car shoppers on their favourite new vehicles.
'Winners are not chosen by journalists or car testers or manufacturers or industry bodies but by Australian car buyers themselves."
Bill Gillespie, Director Sales and Marketing at Kia Motors Australia, said: 'We are very pleased that so many Australian new car buyers are considering the Kia Carnival or Grand Carnival for their next purchase.
'Carnival has consistently been Australia's best selling people-mover and when it comes to actually making a purchase, approximately 35% of buyers in the under-$55K people-mover market have chosen either the Kia VQ Carnival or Grand Carnival, demonstrating that Carnival really is the people's choice."
