For the third year, Autobytel's editorial team, led by Editor-in-Chief Michelle Naranjo, has made their choices for the Autobytel 2014 Car of the Year, Truck of the Year and individual segment winners. The results reflect the vehicles we recommend as the best of the best and the finest choices for shoppers in 2014. With over 75 years of combined experience, everyone on the team contributed 3 nominations for their top 3 choices within each category and then everyone voted on the top 3 in each bunch, resulting in the category winners. The overall Car of the Year and Truck of the Year were chosen because they received the highest votes within the two larger areas: cars and trucks. With so many new and exciting models coming out or being redesigned, the competition was hot!

In a fairytale-like ending, the overall Autobytel 2014 Car of the Year and Truck of the Year go to the Jaguar F-Type and the Land Rover Range Rover. Signaling the return of British design and manufacturing to the motoring world, the double headline winners are the feel-good stories of the year. And they certainly can turn heads!
