Autoweek readers choices:

Best Exotic: Ford GT

A new category this year, the GT is a nod to the '60s racers that won LeMans, and Ford designed it to celebrate the firm's centennial.

Best Sports Car: Chevrolet Corvette

This category has been a tug of war, a back-and-forth battle between Chevrolet's Corvette and Porsche's 911 ... and Corvette takes the top spot once again.

Best Luxury Car: Audi A8

This was hotly contested. When all the votes were in, Audi's award- winning A8 sedan again came out on top as America's Best Luxury Car.

Best Sedan: BMW 3 Series

With the new 3, BMW continues its small sedan tradition of fine-looking exteriors and independent suspension tuned to mix sport and comfort. The 3 is a pleasure to drive, anywhere, anytime.

Best Coupe/Convertible: Ford Mustang

When Ford re-created the Mustang, it made no secret of wanting a car that drives like a modern muscle car with styling that blends old and new ... and they succeeded.

Best People Mover: Honda Odyssey

For the fourth straight year, the Honda Odyssey emerges victorious. That's no small feat, especially when you consider that while this year's winner is brand-new, so, too, are other carmakers' offerings.

Best SUV/Off-Road Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne

Close race in this category, but Porsche Cayenne came out on top. This thing is a beast and comes in three varieties: V6, V8 and turbo version. All handle the rigors of off-roading well.

Best Truck: Ford F-Series

The F-150 takes its eighth straight America's Best Truck win! All-new in 2004, the F-150 offers more powerful engines, more room for passengers and cargo, and standard-issue tough-looking sheetmetal that resonates with the faithful.

Best Economy Car: Mazda 3

Another repeat winner in this ultra-competitive Economy category. Readers love it because it is a great car to drive; responsive, the gearbox is snappy, and its 2.0-liter four-cylinder is powerful enough.
