The Internet Car of the Year awards, which include Leftlane’s Mark Elias as a member of the 12-person jury, will be announced in February of next year at the Chicago Auto Show. To accommodate the new, later announcement date, general public voting for the award has been extended to December 11.
“It’s the first time Internet-savvy consumers will have the opportunity to select their Car and Truck of the Year in one place at a website not dominated by manufacturer advertising. It’s only logical that we associate with the Chicago Auto Show, because it is the nation’s largest consumer auto show,” said award founder Keith Griffin in a statement.

I’m surprised LLN hasn’t reported on the Motor Trend Car of the Year that was already announced this week. Oh wait, Elias wasn’t on that voting board. Nevermind…

The Fusion winning MTCOY is definately a good thing for Ford. It will be interesting to see what will be nominated and win the Internet Car and Truck of the year.

Good job for Ford getting MTCOY; it is going to be a good marketing tool for them!

Man some of the car of the year winners back in the 70’s are major shockers… I can’t believe the Aspen won in 76, the Mustang II in 74, the Vega in 71. Wow…

You have to wonder how closely tied each winning manufacturer was to the amount of advertising dollars had been spend with the magazine the 10 mos prior
Love seeing a Citroen on the list.

MTCY is not just based on how good the car is. It is also based on how it changes the industry.
The Vega was a quantum change when it came out. Small and sporty. Before ‘71 everything sold by the US makers were large. Corvair would have won in ‘60 if the award was given out then.
Monte Carlo was the American “european” tuned suspension in ‘73.
Citation and K cars were the new FWD saviors of GM and Chrysler when they came out.
