The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) has announced that the 2009 Canadian Car of the Year will be either the Hyundai Genesis, Mazda6 or Toyota Corolla. The Hyundai Genesis already won "Best New Luxury Car Under $50K" in Canada, and recently took home the continent's most prestigious honors of "North American Car of the Year" at the Detroit Auto Show. The results were released by international accounting firm KPMG, which secretly tabulates the results of journalists’ votes from the annual three-day test event held at Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, in late October.
Also announced, the winner of the 2009 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year will come from the Ford Flex, Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Subaru Forester; the Best New Design will be either the Honda Fit, Jaguar XF Supercharged or Volkswagen Passat CC; and, the Best New Technology winner will be General Motors’ OnStar Stolen Vehicle Slowdown, Infiniti’s Around View Monitor or Mitsubishi’s Super-All-Wheel Control.
All winners will be declared February 11, 2009 during press preview day for the 2009 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
