Edmunds.com to Announce Most Significant Vehicle for 2006 at SEMA Show on Wednesday, November 2, 2005
WHAT: Edmunds.com, the premier online automotive resource, will announce the winners of the 2006 Editors' Most Wanted Awards, including the Most Significant Vehicle Award for 2006, in a press conference at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. For eight consecutive years, the Editors' Most Wanted Vehicle awards have recognized the new model year's cars and trucks the auto-loving Edmunds.com editors would choose to buy with their own money.

This year's winner accomplishes two of these three in convincing style. In addition, Edmunds.com will present an update on the rapid growth of Inside Line, Edmunds.com's free online magazine for auto enthusiasts.
