For kids around the globe, tis the season for Santa, reindeer and presents. For the automotive industry, the last quarter of each year is reserved for awards, whether they come from
Motor Trend,
Car and Driver,
Automobile, or yes,
Autoblog. The latest to get released comes from our friends at
Autoweek.
The magazine has echoed other outlets, naming a
Volkswagen hatchback and a small pickup from
General Motors as its Best of the Best. Unlike
Motor Trend, which handed out its
golden calipers to the Chevrolet Colorado and
Volkswagen Golf range,
Autoweek doled out its awards to the Colorado's twin, the
GMC Canyon, while singling out the hottest version of the
Golf, the
GTI.
"
This is the best hot-hatch on the American market - and it may be the best car you can buy for less than $30K," one AW staffer said in the publication's article on the feature. Other staffers praised the absolute value provided by the GTI and the overall fun factor.
The Canyon, meanwhile, was saluted for being "the perfect size," not to mention its excellent build quality, feature-rich cabin and overall practicality. "It's truly a truck in the most honest sense of the word,"
Autoweek wrote of the Canyon.
Scroll down for the full press release on the announcement from
Autoweek, which includes comments from both Volkswagen and GMC. And then head over and read
AW's full feature on the awards.
