Toyota Camry Named Motor Trend Magazine's 2007 Car of the Year
The redesigned Toyota Camry, the hottest-selling car in America, is the winner of Motor Trend Magazine's 2007 Car of the Year award, reports The Associated Press. The award, announced Wednesday, went to all Camry variations, including the hybrid, because the car is innovative yet has a broad appeal, magazine Editor-in-Chief Angus MacKenzie said in a statement. "The Camry is the one car rival automakers all wish they could build. It offers something for nearly everyone — performance, efficiency and roominess — at a price point most Americans can afford," MacKenzie said.

The Camry beat 26 other vehicles that were redesigned or all new in the year prior to January 1, 2007. Criteria considered for the award, includes: innovation in engineering, design, safety and technology; its performance and quality; and whether the vehicle delivers value to the consumer.
