Camaro named Motor Trend auto of the Year

The article also noted that “the sixth-generation Camaro is based on General Motor’s awesome Alpha platform architecture, the same structure that underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS, the latter being our 2014 auto of the Year”.

For Truck of the Year, Motor Trend named the Chevrolet Colorado as this year’s pick.

The Volvo XC90 claimed the top spot for SUV of the year in a crowded field of 16 cars. Yes, Volvo is still in business, and they are making a few new, headturning vehicles like this roomy SUV.

A big win for General Motors, as its 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Colorado win Motor Trend auto, and Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

Vehicles in the running for the Motor Trend awards were driven for hundreds of miles before judges selected winners.

Indeed when judged on performance per dollar, the Camaro is very hard to beat.

The Volvo XC90’s route to the award wasn’t easy either.

Motor Trend called the Camaro one of the sexiest care on the road today, and says it’s still an icon. “And it’s as capable off-road as it is a delight to drive on-road; seven-passenger people movers aren’t supposed to drive like this”. Five other finalists were looked at for the trophy.

By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success”, said Angus MacKenzie, Motor Trend’s editor-at-large and chief content officer for TEN: “The Enthusiast Network. The judges singled out the Colorado’s new-for-2016 2.8-liter inline four-cylinder Duramax diesel for its best-in-class towing capacity of 7,700 pounds and fuel economy of 31 mpg highway.

This is the second year in a row that both vehicles have won this prestigious award. “And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen”.
