2010 Contenders For Car & Truck of the Year

Car lovers around the world fasten your seatbelts, as the top contenders for the 2010 International Car and Truck of the Year (ICOTY) battle it out in a race to the finish line. The ICOTY jury is proud to announce its top three nominees in each category.  After months of intense vehicle testing by the auto industry’s leading automotive editors and journalists, only the most innovative and emotionally compelling vehicles have cruised into the top three positions.

The mission of the ICOTY Awards is to honor and highlight the emotional connection between cars and consumers, in addition to how well automakers achieve that goal through the design and marketing of their vehicles.

"The awards are not centered on power and performance," said Courtney Caldwell, ICOTY’s creator and executive producer. "It's about how cars reflect our personalities, lifestyles and self image, an attitude most consumers can identify with."

If you're new to Road & Travel Magazine (RTM) here's the skinny on what we're all about. RTM is an online magazine that focuses on all things travel and all things automotive but the twist is that we focus on women. Pioneering women's automotive media in 1989 seemed like a practical thing to do at the time. After all, we all buy cars, schlep our kids around in cars, drive cars to work and for errands, for just about everything, and hell knows we sure do make those pesky little car payments every month. But what about all the concerns and issues we had that NOBODY was addressing? Remember the days when you couldn't get into a truck or SUV with a skirt on? I, for one, at 5'1" tall, had to use a step ladder or sometimes just dove in then rolled over. A pretty sight indeed.
