The Ford Mustang Wins Canadian Car of the Year
TORONTO, Feb. 16 /CNW/ - The Ford Mustang was declared Canadian Car of
the year for 2005 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).
The award was announced today during a press conference in conjunction with
the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto.
The Canadian Car of the Year (COTY) Awards are an annual event that
brings the top automotive journalists from across Canada to a small town in
Ontario where 64 eligible vehicles were tested during a four-day TestFest to
select the best new vehicles in twelve categories.
"The AJAC Car of the Year Awards are unique in that they are selected by
an independent association which has no relationship, or affiliation with any
car or truck manufacturer. The association consists of automobile
professionals with varied experiences from a diversity of sources that
includes television, magazines, website, radio shows and newspapers.
Only AJAC's Car of the Year awards are based on the intense back-to-back,
identical testing conditions and procedures by groups of totally unbiased
automotive experts", say Car of the Year Director, Norm Mort.
To be eligible for Canadian Car of the Year, a vehicle must have won its
category. Category winners were announced at a press conference in December
where the Ford Mustang was named Best New Sports/Performance Car.
According to AJAC president, Richard Russell, "the Ford Mustang is back
and it's seriously serious".
Along with the Ford Mustang, the Chrysler 300C, Best New Luxury Car and
the Honda Accord Hybrid, Best New Alternative Power were finalists for
Canadian Car of the Year.
Vote results, as well as the comparative performance data produced during
the annual Test Fest, are available to consumers on AJAC's web site at
www.ajac.ca
