Edmunds.com Announces Consumers' Most Wanted Vehicle Awards for 2007
Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information, today announced the winners of the sixth annual Edmunds.com Consumers' Most Wanted vehicle awards.

"These awards provide a good idea of what consumers are looking for in their next vehicle," said Karl Brauer, Editor in Chief of Edmunds.com. "This year, consumers voiced the opinion that the domestics are developing some very compelling cars and trucks."

By a considerable margin, the 2007 GMC Acadia won the flagship award, Edmunds.com Consumers' Most Significant Vehicle of 2007. The next highest finisher was the 2007 Saturn Aura, and the 2007 Honda Fit took third place.

Among manufacturers, Chevrolet led the pack, winning five awards, while Cadillac and Honda tied for second place, each winning four awards in this year's survey.

The people who wanted Mercedes already bought them in 2006. Not much has changed. The LS460 was hyped up greatly by its marketers and has done very well with the LS600H!

I'd take a 535xiT over a Magnum SRT8 any day. I'd also take an A6 wagon or E-class wagon over one, and if more high end brands made wagons I'd take those too.

ill take your 535xi and eat it for breakfast in an SRT-8. plus ill take all the attention the SRT-8 gets instead of your 535xi. i'll also take your behind at any stop light. but if you are insistive of european brands, than ill take an e63 wagoon.

no1listensanyway is correct, I think you'll find that AutoSpies readers have been around the block when it comes to cars, and perhaps burned too many times by domestics, to be swayed by this polling.

What, Will? You think that since one Lexus was on the list, we'll think it's biased? I'm surprised you're not thinking the same. "Where's the Lexus GS wagon?"

I'm going to say I'm surprised the IS isn't there. We all know Lexus beats Caddy's ass everyday of the week.

LOL You all kill me! Remember not everyone in America can afford BMW's, Mercedes',Lexus', etc. So this list is a list of greats in each of the prospective catergories.
I see what they readers at edmund's chose probably represents a lot of Americans, since they poll those people. Edmunds sent out emails...did you all not get one to vote?

Yeah! My CTS is on the list and I didn't even vote for it. This list does seem a little funky, but it goes to show you GM is not dead in the eyes of the consumers.

LS460, not a bit surprised. ^0^

Who wouldn't want a "Best Enigneering", "World Car the Year", ....?

In 2005, the Audi A6 won a design of the year award, as well as "World Car of the Year..." along with at least a dozen other awards. That car swept Europe-- especially Germany.

In 2006, the BMW 3 Series was on the Ward's Top 10 Engines list, and it also won "World Car of the Year." I can safely assume that it won many other awards.

Just a history lesson.

Atleast the TSX doesn't look like Dame Edna from the Bitches, Mamma's boys and Wannabes car company.

Except for the engine, good for the Acaida/Outlook, very fine looking SUVs.

I agree with a lot of the list. Audi and BMW did quite well- in every class they competed in, if they weren't in first, at least one of them were in second or third.

The Lexus LS460 was utterly expected, because the A8 has been reigning for too long. I was surprised that the A8 still edged out the S-Class, though, because the S is fresher, but I'd take either.

Go Porsche!

Where is the Honda Fit? That is a great little car.
And at least the Aura is actually a good car, otherwise I'd be saying go Camry!

But not a single Merc...

Woah, just noticed that. No Mercs. The C-Class came in last in the 3 Series class! It got 1% of the vote!

The E-Class Estate did come in second behind the A6 Avant, though, and the S was in third, behind the LS and A8. I'm sure there were some others on various podiums. SL was probably high in the 911 class.
