The SEMA Award: Hottest Car, Truck and 4X4-SUV Announced at the SEMA Show

The inaugural SEMA Award was presented to the Chevrolet Camaro for the Hottest Car, the Ford F-Series for the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler for the Hottest 4x4-SUV, during the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

New car and truck buyers have a choice. The ability to accessorize a vehicle impacts the decision as to which vehicle to purchase. The SEMA Award identifies the most accessory-friendly new models.

Show organizers relied on the trend-setting influence of exhibitors to determine the winners.

“A booth space is a ballot, and the models these exhibitors have selected represent their vote,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO.

Chevrolet Vice President of Sales and Service Alan Batey offered his congratulations to the entire team at Chevrolet as he accepted the Chevy Camaro's SEMA Award for Hottest Car.

Mark Allen, Jeep's chief designer, proudly held the inaugural SEMA Award as he posed with Chris Kersting. Afterwards, Allen discussed why the Wrangler beat out the competition for the 2010 SEMA Award for Hottest 4x4-SUV.

The 2010 SEMA Show featured more than 1,800 exhibiting companies. With more exhibitors showcasing their new products and styling trends on the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford F-Series and Jeep Wrangler, SEMA Award winners are vehicles that consumers can confidently turn to for unlimited possibilities in personalization.
