s it does each year, the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media
A Association (GAAMA) gathered at the Atlanta International Auto
Show to evaluate the many vehicles presented by the show’s participating
manufacturers. Those vehicles competed in six categories: Best Green, Best
SUV/Crossover, Best Luxury, Best Truck, Best Performance, and Biggest Bang
for the Buck. Additionally, Judges’ Choice was awarded for the vehicle that
stood out among the crowd, combining excellent form, function, and technology
to offer consumers a truly comprehensive package.

Prior to the public opening of the show, the GAAMA team of judges circulated the show floor,
climbing in and out of the many cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks on display. They looked under
the hoods, checked out cargo space, and evaluated fit and finish, narrowing their choices as
they went.

The GAAMA judges represent various segments of automotive journalism, including print,
radio, social media, and blogs. “We had to make some tough choices among all the vehicles
on display this year,” remarked GAAMA President Daryl Killian. “We agreed the winners
demonstrate some of the best new car options for the motoring public,” he added.

The winners in each category were:
• Best Green Vehicle: • Best Truck:
