Motor Trend Awards Announced for 2015
This year’s Motor Trend Awards have been released, and it’s a really good year for Chevrolet. The brand sporting the bowtie for its logo took home two of the three awards as the major automotive publication announced their favorite car, truck and SUV for 2015.
Winners of Motor Trend Awards
Car of the Year: Chevrolet Camaro
Judges chose the Camaro due to its lighter-weight design, and it’s just in time for its 50th birthday. The Camaro got the nod over finalists Audi TT, BMW 7 Series, Honda Civic, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Mercedes-Benz GT 5, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai.
Truck of the Year: Chevrolet Colorado
Last year’s winner takes home the hardware once again, besting the field for a second straight year. Finalists included the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Canyon, GMC Sierra 1500, Nissan Titan XD and Toyota Tundra.
