And the best of the best is...
A jury of 10 senior Canadian automotive journalists has selected the new Ford Fiestaas the 2011 Canadian Automotive Jury's 2011 Best of the Best Winner.From the dozen Best of the Best Finalists that were announced last month, the Fiesta was recognized as "the one and only, best of the best" of the current crop of 2011 model year vehicles in Canada.
The Jury, some of the most prominent automotive journalists in Canada, cited the Fiesta's availability as a sedan or hatchback, excellent fuel economy, "big car" features, and a high "fun to drive quotient that was tough to beat."
The Canadian Automotive Jury's annual Best of the Best Awards are unique in Canada.
Its 10 Jurors account for a majority of automotive industry coverage in Canada. And the Jury's selections don't exclusively focus on a specific model within a family of vehicles or only "all-new" models.
To qualify for the Best of the Best Awards, vehicles must have been on sale in Canadian showrooms by October 1, 2010. From this group, Jury members chose 11 finalists.
The reigning champion, the 2010Best of the Best Winner, the Volkswagen Golf, was automatically included as a finalist.
The Canadian Automotive Jury is a not-for-profit group of prominent Canadian automotive journalists, pledged to the highest standards of uncompromised reporting. The Jury has a coast-to-coast reach in all forms of media including newspapers, radio, television and online.
Any money raised by a manufacturer's use of the "Best" or "Best of the Best" logo is donated to a charity of the Jury's choice.
