12/5/06 - AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE, America's leading automotive lifestyle publication, today announced the winners of the 2006 AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE All-Stars Awards. Each year, the editors of AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE convene to test, evaluate and debate the performance, significance and contributions of the vehicles and executives who have impacted the automotive industry the most. The prestigious list of the deserving winners is featured in the 2006 January issue, available on newsstands December 13, 2005.

* Automobile of the Year: BMW 3-series--The latest version of BMW's superior sport sedan drove off with this year's top award. The 3-series is a testament to BMW's commitment to excellence and to the company's long-term thinking. BMW has produced a car that is the gold standard for its class, something that all other automakers feel they have to measure up to. A car that continues to get better and better with every evolution.

Technology of the Year: BMW's Magnesium-Clad 3.0-Liter N52 Engine--Pundits are calling magnesium this century's "wonder metal." BMW's astute material selection achieved a 24% weight reduction for the 3-series, which saved 22 pounds and increased peak output by 30 hp with no mileage loss. This earns BMW's twelfth-generation I-6 engine top honors.

While it is nice that the e90 won, we all know that our cars are the best thing since.... well since ever! You all know the feeling that comes from opening the door to heaven sitting down and spending the best part of the day with your baby cruising around town.

I am sorry y'all, but ....just to let you know, several of you have asked me if they could use the same sig. I let them use it.

So you'll see others using it too.

I noted that that criteria for selection did not included juggs, I mean cupholders.

NaTuReB0Y · 12-06-2005, 11:29 PM
