Texas Auto Writers Choose Cadillac
CTS-V Car of the Year at Spring Challenge
By JO ANN HOLT
Three dozen members of Texas Auto
Writers Association (TAWA) enjoyed
three days of fun, fellowship, and
driving at the eighth annual Spring
Challenge May 2–4, held at the Marriott Hotel and Golf Club at Champion Circle, North of Fort Worth,
and the nearby Texas Motor Speedway. The writers drove 60 different
vehicles ranging from high performance models to family sedans and
even a few compact SUVs to pick
winners in seven categories.
The overall winner was the Cadillac CTS-V, chosen as the 2010
Car of Texas. This delightful sedan
has fuel-saving 3.0L direct injected
V-6 standard in all North American models, and the latest in technology that includes a USB port for
audio devices, magnetic ride control, a pop-up navigation system,
and adaptive forward lighting that
swivels with steering. The interior
is the latest word in luxury, making the CTS-V the perfect combination of performance and luxury.
Last year’s Car of Texas was another
General Motors product, the 2010
Chevy Camaro.
Other 2010 TAWA winners included the High Performance Car
of Texas: the Dodge Viper ACR. At
the heart of the 2010 Dodge Viper
SRT10 remains the venerable 8.4L
(510 cu. in.) V-10 engine that produces 600 (450 kW) horsepower

Benchmark performance numbers,
including 0-60 mph in less than 4

mid 11-second range and 0-100-0
mph in 11 seconds flat, and a top
speed of 202 mph, continue to prove
how the serious, race-inspired,
street-legal, two-seater performs
without apology. There’s a new wing

Best New Design was won by the
new Ford Fiesta, which also won
Best Value. Best Use of Technology
was the Lincoln MKT. Other winners at the 2010 Spring Challenge
included the Family Car of Texas,
the Ford Taurus; and Most Innovative, the Mercedes-Benz E350A
Cabriolet.
In October, the Texas Auto Writers Association will meet for their
annual Truck Rodeo, where they
will pick the 2010 Truck of Texas as
they drive through the Hill Country
