There's a new 1 in europe ? Why would they give an award to a design that's almost 10 y/o now ?

Yeah, I don't really understand what's going on with the copy that was posted to this thread. The mention of the 1-series in the post doesn't match the awarded car on the Red Dot website:

Quote:
The 3-door BMW 1 Series also presents a compelling proposition with its powerful, typically BMW proportions. Its distinctive looks, headlined by dynamically stretched lines, mark it out both from its compact segment rivals and from its 5-door 1 Series sibling. Wide doors with frameless windows, the “free-standing” side window design – undisturbed even by the B-pillars – and the extremely low-slung look of the roofline allow the car to cut an elegantly sporty figure.
That copy appears to reference the F20 1-series, but if you browse to the website and look at the winners, the 1M Coupe is listed, which obviously isn't the 3-door model.

This link should take you straight to automotive Red Dot winners:

There is no mention of the 1 series in the "Best of the best" or "Honourable mention" categories.

For posterity, here's a link directly to the 1M Coupe award:
