Atlanta auto show awards

From Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association:

The Buick LaCrosse was named Best in Show and the Cadillac SRX was chosen the Best 2010 model at the AJC International Auto Show by the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA).
A five-person panel of GAAMA judges chose the GM models over dozens of other candidates and presented the "GAAMA Peach" awards prior to the auto show opening March 13.
"The judging was very close with several candidates gathering votes from the panel. But in the end, the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac SRX were the clear winners," said GAAMA President Jim Tucker.
"The 2010 Buick LaCrosse embodies contemporary elegance," said Brad Flaaen, Regional Sales & Marketing, Buick, Pontiac and GMC . "With its unique design elements , fit and finish, and advanced technology -- the new LaCrosse will certainly provide consumers with a world-class experience. Our award-winning LaCrosse builds on the success of Enclave as the next step in Buick's revitalization and we thank GAAMA for recognizing this."
"Cadillac boasts a tradition of bold, head-turning design and our 2010 SRX Crossover builds on that reputation," said Jennifer Costabile, Regional Sales & Marketing, GM Premium Channel. "The redesigned SRX being awarded Best 2010 model by GAAMA is proof positive that technical precision blended with old world craftsmanship will continue to charm the emotional and pragmatic sides of our luxury consumers." Both vehicles are on display at the auto show through March 22.
This was the first year of the awards from GAAMA, a year-old association comprised of automotive journalists, corporate communications specialists, media organizations, auto manufacturers and other professionals working in the automotive media industry from the greater Atlanta area as well as other nearby cities in the Southeast.
