The 14th Annual International Car of the Year Awards (ICOTY) were announced this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show revealing the winners for the 2010 International Car and Truck of the Year.
Recipients of the awards were selected by The ICOTY jury, a group of 19 nationally-renowned automotive journalists and editors. Courtney Caldwell, editor-in-chief of Road & Travel Magazine, Kevin Smith, editorial director for Edmunds.com, and James Bell, executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book, represented the ICOTY jury and presented winners with their awards.
The International Truck of the Year winner was the 2010 Volvo XC60.
The award for International Truck of the Year was accepted by Mr. Doug Speck, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America.
"This ties a very pretty bow around what's been a truly amazing year for Volvo," commented Speck. "The XC60 has not only been recognized by the media but it's been extremely well received by our customers."
The winner of the International Car of the Year was awarded to the
2010 Ford Taurus.
Accepting the award for International Car of the Year on behalf of Ford Motor Company was Ms. Pei-Wen Hsu, Taurus Marketing Manager.
“Taurus is not just a car you need to get from point A to point B, it is a car you want to arrive in in style,” said Pei-Wen Hsu, Taurus marketing manager. “The new Taurus gives you a little blast of attitude and turns heads around every corner.”
The two vehicles are on display at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The show opened to the public today.
