As in previous years, the criteria for our Annual Awards is a bit different than that of our competitors. Our entire team had extensive discussions, conducted extensive testing, and put together a series of contenders in categories we consider to be very relevant to you, our readership. Again, in order to be eligible, we must have reviewed the vehicle on our magazine between January 1 and December 31 of this calendar year.
