We just announced our first ever Car of the Year award winner. The 2009 Hyundai Genesis had to pass through a lot of internal debate before capturing the award — especially from me, who held out the longest for a different winner.
Below are thoughts from our editors who were locked in a room and forced to come to a unanimous decision on a winner. We also list the other cars that were in serious contention.
For our first ever Car of the Year award, the editors of Cars.com have picked the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. Our editors test-drove all the newly introduced and redesigned models for 2009, and from that pool of about 60 cars chose their favorites based on features, driving quality, mileage and overall value.
You can read all about our pick here and we’ll post about the internal debate on how the Genesis took the top prize later on. For now, feel free to let us know what you think in the comments.
