Congratulations to Toyota Venza, winning the 2009 AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Award in the Premium Mid-Size Crossover SUV segment.

Racing would return to Canada, the United States, Mexico, and yes, even Silverstone.

I’ve been saying for quite a while now that history will look upon the little lozenge-shaped car as THE iconic vehicle of this decade, much as the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was the iconic car of the 1950s.
The second generation Prius was the car that brought hybrids to the mainstream. The dorky first generation car looked and felt somewhat like a science project…and the quirky original Honda Insight even more so. But Prius v2.0 boasted a really usable interior package, decent performance, and a unique look that proclaimed to the world that you were ready for something beyond the status quo.
