2015 Corvette Stingray Wins Auto123's Convertible of the Year Award

Awards continue to pour down on the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray.

This time, Auto123.com has named the Corvette as its 2015 Convertible of the Year, beating out the Jaguar F-Type and the all-new 2015 Mazda Miata.

Another Chevy, the 2015 Tahoe, was judged the 2015 Full-Size Utility of the Year, ahead of the Ford Flex and GMC Yukon.

“We’re honored to have two of our iconic Chevrolet nameplates recognized by the Auto123.com team,” said Bob McClelland, brand director for Chevrolet in Canada. “Both the Chevrolet Tahoe and Corvette Stingray redefine their segments, providing the world class design, performance, and technology our customers have come to expect from Chevrolet.”

Auto123.com has been serving car buyers and enthusiasts since 1996 but has presented the Auto123 Awards for the past six years to winning automakers who sell their vehicles in Canada.

“These are not your run-of-the-mill awards,” Auto123.com says. “The Auto123.com Awards are the complete package. We painstakingly revise a list of suitable cars every year, classify them in one or more of 19 possible categories, and then pick our favorites. That’s right, all cars sold and available in Canada prior to the awards ceremony are eligible for a trophy.

“Throughout Canada, our panel of contributors and staff members test drive cars on a regular basis, and this allows them to vote and dole out points to their favorite cars in each category. This results in naming the best of the best, regardless of whether the model is all-new or a few years old. We feel that the Auto123.com Awards are the most comprehensive, accessible, easy to understand annual ratings currently available in Canada,” the website concludes.

Other GM vehicles that were finalists in this year’s Auto123.com contest were the Chevrolet Impala for Full-Size Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Silverado for Full-Size Pickup of the Year, and the Cadillac ATS for Luxury Compact Car of the Year.
