EDITOR'S NOTE: The Auto Channel would like to congratulate Motor Trend magazine on this live Internet video event. Thirteen years, one month and twelve days ago we did our first live Internet video broadcast (introducing the new Jaguar XK8 from the Peterson Auto Museum in Los Angeles). We were very excited by the achievement and can only imagine how excited Motor Trend must be 13 years, 1 month and 13 days later to walk the same ground we did. Welcome to the 21st Century, boys.

To watch the announcement LIVE, log on to MotorTrend.com or access it directly from the following URL: www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/car/2010_motor_trend_car_of_the_year_webcast.
