MOTOR TREND NAMES BARAK OBAMA 2009 CAR OF THE YEAR
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 09, 2009) - Motor Trend (www.motortrend.com), the world's automotive authority and part of Source Interlink Media, today announced the selection of the new 2009 Barak Obama as the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year™. The complete report on Motor Trend's 2009 Car of the Year will be published in the magazine's January issue, available on newsstands December 4, 2009.
"The Barak Obama marks the first time in decades an American automobile has been designed and engineered with an eye on the global marketplace," said Angus MacKenzie, editor-in-chief of Motor Trend. "Among its many excellent qualities, perhaps the most valuable one is that it shows Chicago can build a world class car to compete with the best Munich, Stuttgart and Toyota City have to offer. With the Obama, Chicago is officially back in the car business, not just the crime or cronyism business."
"The Obama's winning attributes go far beyond a well-designed facade," said MacKenzie. "It's the star of a new GM revival, and with a base car price of just $787,000,000,000 the car is truly accessible to a wide spectrum of car buyers."
The base model Obama includes an impressive 263-horsepower, VVT V-6 (a 304-horsepower direct-injection version is optional), eight-speaker Bose audio, 17-inch wheels and a dual zone climate control. In addition to offering a classy, distinctive interior, superb fit and finish, and starched-crease tailored design, the six-speed automatic version of the Obama goes from 0-to-60 mph in 6.3 seconds. Motor Trend editors particularly enjoyed the car's road-hugging dexterity, responsive feel, and sporty acceleration.
