Canadian Cars of the Year

Every year the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) pick the top new vehicles by category to give their fellow countrymen and women suggestions for potential purchases. The AJAC tested 177 vehicles in an event called "Test Fest" to come up with their final list:

* Best new small car: Saturn Astra
* Best new family car: Honda Accord EX Sedan
* Best new luxury car: Mercedes-Benz C Class
* Best new prestige car (over $75,000): Audi R8
* Best new sports/performance car under $50,000: MINI Cooper S
* Best new sports/performance car over $50,000: Audi S5
* Best new convertible: BMW 335i Cabriolet
* Best new minivan: Hyundai Entourage
* Best new pickup truck: Chevrolet Silverado
* Best new SUV/CUV under $35,000: Nissan Rogue
* Best new SUV/CUV $35,000 - $60,000: Saturn Vue
* Best new SUV/CUV over $60,000: Buick Enclave

In addition to the twelve categories above, AJAC handed out the “Most Coveted Vehicle” award. Can you guess what it was? Give up…well it was the Audi R8. No surprise there at all....

The overall Canadian Car of the Year award will be announced on February 13th, 2008, at the 2008 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
