The Results Are in for the 14th Annual AutoWeek Magazine Survey
ATLANTA, July 3 -- The Porsche Cayenne and 911 were awarded Best SUV/Off-Road Vehicle and Best Sports Car, respectively, in AutoWeek Magazine's 14th Annual "America's Best" Survey. The survey by America's largest weekly car magazine was conducted entirely online, polling automotive consumers and enabling them to voice their opinion on their favorite cars, trucks and sport-utility vehicles.

The Cayenne beat last year's winner, the Land Rover Range Rover, as well as the BMW X5, the new Hummer H2 and the Volvo XC90.
The Porsche 911 -- which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year -- emerged as the top pick of AutoWeek subscribers over Corvette, which had won Best Sports Car 13 years in a row.
"We at PCNA value the opinions and preferences of AutoWeek readers and are honored to receive these awards," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "Particularly gratifying is the high praise of the Cayenne, since it has only been on the market since March 15."
