Cars.com's Lifestyle Awards

For our Lifestyle Awards, we know not all car buyers choose their car simply by category. We also know many of you cross-shop, comparing that hybrid with this sedan with that wagon. Our team of reviewers drove dozens of cars, and from those experiences come these awards. Winners were announced Jan. 13, 2010. See how we choose the winners.
