MOTOR TREND OF THE YEAR

摘要

The cadence was set by Car of the Year. Once that award became an annual fixture for Motor Trend, it was regularly tied to the January or February issue. As we expanded the award to include Truck of the Year (1978) and Sport/Utility of the Year (1999), a new sequence developed. We announced Sport/Utility of the Year in the December issue followed by the Car of the Year in January and Truck of the Year in February. We added the Power List, our annual ranking of the 50 most influential players in the automotive industry, to February issues starting in 2005 so that attendees at the world's most important auto show, the North American International Auto Show, would have something to talk about.
