Cadillac style leads the way
CTS Coupe Concept
The CTS-V and the Coupe Concept scooped up the Eyes On Design awards for Best Production Car and Best Concept Car. As always, the “Eyes” panel was a group of real design giants, such as Chris Bangle (BMW Group), Fabrizio Giugiaro, Henrik Fisker, Willie G. Davidson and other global design leaders. For that reason, these are awards Cadillac was delighted to receive – of particular prestige to Cadillac’s design team led by Clay Dean (design director), John Manoogian (exterior) and Eric Clough (interior.)
'Autoweek' names Saab 9-X BioHybrid 'Best Concept'
9-X BioHybrid
The editors of “AutoWeek,” one of North America's most respected and longest standing automotive enthusiast magazines, have voted the Saab 9-X BioHybrid "Best Concept" upon its world debut at the auto show in Geneva this week. With this award, the Saab 9-X BioHybrid premium compact joins the very successful Saab Aero X coupe concept which received the magazine’s "Best in Show" honors upon its debut in Geneva, two years ago.
"We are honored by this important recognition from the expert editors of ‘AutoWeek,’" said Steve Shannon, Saab Automobile USA general manager. "The way the 9-X BioHybrid was welcomed by the world's press and the public in Geneva has exceeded many optimistic expectations. Following in footsteps of the highly inspirational Aero X, as well as the 9-4X BioPower crossover concept, which debuted in Detroit just a few weeks ago, the 9-X BioHybrid demonstrates that the Saab brand has tremendous potential."
The 9-X BioHybrid, which made its North American debut March 19 during the New York International Auto Show press days, is a vivid vision of what a future compact car from Saab could look like. It is designed to reflect the priorities of youthful customers who seek progressive looks, responsible performance and high-tech communications, all in a sporty, fun-to-drive package.
