CORVETTE AN “EDITORS” MOST WANTED

From the BG Corvette Assembly Plant Performance Press newsletter:

The C5 Corvette has racked up yet another award! Four GM vehicles - Chevy Corvette, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade received “Editors” Most Wanted awards from Edmunds.com. The winners for the 2004 model year were announced today by Edmunds.com, a leading internet resource for consumer automotive information. “The “Editors” Most Wanted awards recognize the new model year vehicles the Edmunds.com editors would choose for each of the 29 vehicle categories, if we were spending our own money,” explained Karl Brauer, editor-in-chief of Edmunds.com. “For this task, our demographically diverse editorial staff is guided by passion, not science, to choose the vehicles we’d love to have in our own driveways.” Details on all award winners are listed at: http://www.edmunds.com
