Our selection process is extremely simple. There's only one real rule: Inside Line must have tested the car or truck by December 1. And there's only one hard-and-fast category: Instant Classic. The other five winners are chosen free-form. In fact, every single car and truck on the market is eligible for all six slots. There's no price cap. No nonsense about being a new model or a redesigned nameplate. Essentially, we can honor any car or truck we so desire.
But we didn't want to award six supercars either, so we did draw ourselves a few guidelines. In an attempt to keep it real, we decided to choose a vehicle for each of the following needs: speed, luxury, hauling, commuting and family. However, the editors were not obligated to award a vehicle associated with each. If the Inside Line editors want to give awards only to supercars, they still have that option.
With those decisions made and mapped out, we locked all 13 Inside Line editors in a room and we voted. A vehicle needed eight votes to win. It was all over and done with in about two hours and $120 worth of Chinese food. And it was fun. Very little bloodshed. With any luck it'll become an annual thing. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2008 Edmunds' Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted Award winners are:
2008 Audi S5
2008 GMC Sierra Denali
2008 Honda Odyssey
2008 Mazda 3
2008 Porsche 911 GT3
Instant Classic: 2008 Audi R8
