2010 Camaro Awarded World Car Design of the Year
Bick66
The 2010 Camaro was presented with the “World Car Design of the Year” award at the New York International Auto Show last week. The resurrected Camaro topped a list of thirty World Car candidates nominated by fifty-nine World Car jurors from twenty-five countries. GM has sold over 80,000 new Camaros since their release in the spring of 2009 and has outsold the competition for the past 10 months straight. So what do you think? In light of all this, does the Camaro deserve an international award for best all-round design, or would you have awarded it to a different 2010 vehicle? Read more about the Camaro’s award after the jump.

Editor-in-Chief
I wasn’t very impressed by the “new” tC but I have to say that Five Axis did an amazing job with it. Their iQ was pretty cool, too. More pics after the jump, including all the specs!

Aston Martin is building the most beautiful cars on the road these days, pure and simple. This V8 Vantage Coupe in Gulf livery almost killed me. More pics of the Aston booth after the jump, which includes a DBS Carbon Black Special Edition and the stunning Rapide Coupe.

Jeep set up this little fun park ride outside of Javits. I was hoping I’d get to drive but no such luck. Still, I had fun talking to the driver while Naderi snapped photos. More pics and a video after the jump!

NYIAS: The New Infiniti QX: A Revolting SUV
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
Infiniti’s new full-size QX SUV, unveiled yesterday, is possibly the ugliest SUV ever produced. The Infiniti design paradigm really went offtrack with this redesign, with an extra wide grill that only a fish would recognize and a peculiar reverse slant to the D-pillar. The inside is quite inviting, and it’s the best place to be if you’re sickened with the looks of this thing.

NYIAS: The New Scion iQ
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
Last year’s concept, the Toyota iQ with a Scion Badge, will be sold as a Scion here in the states this fall. Toyota claimed that the premium subcompact is “Mini-er” and “Smart-er” than the competition. They’re also calling the iQ a four-seater, but think of the rear seat as just a storage area for luggage. The concept version of the iQ on display was hot looking! Expect to see more than a few Scion iQ’s at this year’s SEMA.
NYIAS: The Kia Invasion
By Jim Brennan

One of the most amazing things about Kia is they way they have shed their crapbox image in the matter of a couple of years. More and more, they are now producing vehicles that people actually want, rather than settle for because of their budget. Some examples include the redesigned Sportage, the brand new Forte 5-Door, and the star of the Kia Line, the all new Optima.

Hyundai introduced the North American version of its full-size Equus. It’s very nice and all, but they did away with the home market hood ornament. More pics below the jump…

Wandering the floor of the New York International Auto Show, I found myself at the Ford Trucks booth. There were two Raptors, a few Super Duty Trucks, a gaggle of Transit Connects, even a Lone Ranger. However, here is a truck I didn’t even know about, and I pride myself on knowing all things Truck: The Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin!

NYIAS: Old vs New Scion tC: I Made a Mistake!
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
There was a posting about the new Scion tC, written by your truly, and I was wrong about the previous tC, in which I stated it didn’t have a rear hatch. Surprise, it did. So, to stir the discussion further, lets compare the old tC with the new tC.
