CHICAGO, Dec. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
premier online resource for buying and selling new and used cars,
has tallied the votes, and determined that the Ford Mustang is the
winner of its Shoppers' Choice Award. The Mustang was one of the 10
award finalists which were selected based on car shopper actions
taken on the site including searching car listings, filling out
consumer reviews and contacting dealers. The ultimate winner was
determined through fan voting on the Cars.com Facebook page.
"The Ford Mustang remains a favorite among shoppers," said
Patrick Olsen, Cars.com's
Editor-in-Chief. "In its fiftieth year of production, the Mustang
continues to be a sports car icon, and perhaps Ford's most
recognizable car ever. It is an American classic beloved by so many
Americans, and the devotion to that car showed in the voting
results."
The 10 finalists for the Cars.com Shoppers' Choice award were
(in alphabetical order):
- Chevrolet Camaro
- Chevrolet Silverado
- Ford Mustang—Shoppers' Choice winner
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
- Honda CR-V
- Jeep Grand Cherokee
- Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
- Ram 1500
"The Mustang has made an appearance on the Shoppers' Choice
finalist list several times, and even won the award in 2010," said
Olsen. "With a redesigned version coming very soon, there's
certainly potential for more Mustang wins in the future."
The Mustang will be formally honored along with all of the
Cars.com's winning vehicles at the Best of 2014 Awards show in
Detroit during the North American
International Auto Show.
