The Volkswagen Golf GTI was named the 2010 Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) last week at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI beat nine other "best new" category winners to win top honours.
John White, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group Canada, said, "We are very proud to win this very prestigious award. ... The Volkswagen Golf GTI is the heart and soul of Volkswagen. To have the Golf GTI named Canadian Car of the Year today by Canada's automotive media is a very proud moment for us, indeed, and represents the culmination of the hard work on the part of everyone in the Volkswagen Brand around the world."
