Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Wins Autoweeks Editors Choice Award as Best in Show At the Geneva International Auto Show

    GENEVA, March 2 AutoWeek celebrated the best of the best
at the Geneva International Auto Show today by revealing Editors Choice Awards
for 2001.  Aston Martin accepted the V12 Vanquish award for the Best in Show
car of the Geneva show.
    For more than a decade, the AutoWeek Editors Choice Awards have recognized
those vehicles the magazine's editorial staff selects as the Best in Show,
Most Fun, Most Significant and Best Concept models at each major auto show
around the world.  This category measures a vehicle's significance to the
manufacturer, to the marketplace and as a segment-buster.
    "Clearly the Best in Show, says Dutch Mandel, editor and associate
publisher of AutoWeek. Its styling is stunning and brutish and elegant and
passionate. All we can say is Wow!"
    The award was presented at the Geneva Motor Show to Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO of
Aston Martin, who said: "I am delighted for the Aston Martin Vanquish team
that their hard work and efforts have been recognized."
    The all-new model V12 Vanquish will be introduced in North America this
fall as a 2002 model.
