Toronto - November 26, 2009 

Today at a reception held at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Toronto, automobile manufacturers’ representatives and members of the Canadian press gathered for the presentation of the 2010 Auto123.com Awards.

Auto123.com is Canada’s leading automotive web portal and attracts over 1,000,000 visitors each month. A fully bilingual company based in Laval, Quebec, with a team of writers spread throughout Canada, many of whom were on hand to make the presentations.

Michael Deslauriers, Auto123.com’s Editor-in-Chief, explained that these awards were created to assist consumers in the increasingly complex process of purchasing a new vehicle. He added that these awards highlight the best cars and trucks from the 2010 model year sold in Canada.

As you can see from the list below, selecting a winner from each category must have been a somewhat difficult task, but I believe the team did an admirable job.
