The Ford F-Series is in the running for SEMA's “hottest truck” award.

See which products and accessories are available for today’s hottest cars, trucks and SUVs by visiting www.sema.org/semaaward. The website includes a list of SEMA Show exhibitors that make products for the vehicle models most likely to be named the “hottest car,” “hottest truck” and “hottest 4x4-SUV” at the 2010 SEMA Show.

While only one model in each category (car, truck, 4x4-SUV) will be presented with the first-ever SEMA Award at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, there are nearly two-dozen contenders vying for the honor.

“Consumers want to know which cars and trucks are the hottest at the SEMA Show,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “The SEMA Award will help guide them to this year’s most impressive cars and trucks and the great products that make them cool.”

The SEMA Award will be given to the vehicle model that exhibitors choose to trick-out, modify and display most often in their booths. The winners will be announced on Tuesday, November 2, at the SEMA Show.

In anticipation of the announcement, 21 vehicle models have been identified as leading contenders. A list of companies that manufacture products for each contender is available to help consumers see the many ways in which they can modify these cool vehicles. Click on each contender’s name below to visit their websites:

Audi A4
Chevrolet Camaro
Dodge Challenger

Subaru Impreza

Truck Category

4x4-SUV Category

The SEMA Award winners will ultimately be chosen by exhibitors, based on the booth vehicles that are on display at the 2010 SEMA Show. Consumers can get involved by taking the SEMA Challenge, an online contest that invites enthusiasts to guess which vehicles they think will win the SEMA Award. Visitors can vote once in each category each week, until the end of October. For every correct vote, the entrant will be given one entry into a drawing for a five-day VIP trip to Las Vegas to attend the 2011 SEMA Show, complete with airfare and hotel accommodations.

  The Chevy Camaro is the outstanding leader in the SEMA Award's hottest car category.
Since the SEMA Challenge launched on October 1, enthusiasts have been speculating as to which vehicle models will emerge as the hottest car, truck and 4x4-SUV from the SEMA Show.

The hottest vehicle models will be honored with the first-ever SEMA Award next month in Las Vegas. Several vehicles have been identified as contenders for the award, and enthusiasts have been asked to take the SEMA Challenge to see if they can guess the winners.

Now in its third week, there is some debate in the SEMA Challenge voting on who the winners will be. The outstanding leader in the hottest car category is the Chevy Camaro, followed by the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger. In the lead for hottest truck is the Ford F-Series, followed by the Chevy Silverado. And it’s a tight running in the 4x4-SUV category, with the Jeep Grand Cherokee taking the lead, followed very closely by both the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Explorer.

Whether or not you have already cast your vote, you can vote again weekly until the end of the month. For every correct vote you place, you will receive one sweepstakes entry that will qualify you to win a VIP trip for two to the 2011 SEMA Show, including air and hotel accommodations. The SEMA Challenge ends November 1, so get your votes in now on the SEMA Facebook Page or at www.sema.org/challenge. See if you can predict the vehicles in which exhibitors are choosing to invest!

Dodge Caravan

Check out these camo-free photos of a ’12 Dodge Grand Caravan prototype snagged by the spy shooters at Brenda Priddy & Co.

Looking completely production-ready, the new Grand Caravan sports a new grille, bumper and headlights and a redesigned lower fascia. New LED taillights, a restyled bumper and new detailing on the tailgate can be seen at the rear.

Priddy says that the interior looks to be totally redesigned, with a new dash, center stack, gauge pod, shift knob and a new multi-function steering wheel complete with the new Dodge logo. The Stow N' Go seats are said to be more comfortable in the ’12 model and feature a one-touch, fold-down action.

Chrysler's all new 3.6L V6, rated at 283 hp, mated to a six-speed transmission will power the new Caravan, and Priddy says that the suspension has gone through a significant re-work, with added sway bars and an entirely new rear suspension.

Watch for the new Grand Caravan to be at dealers by the start of 2011.
