The Chevy Camaro has won the Hot Car Award from SEMA

How smart are Internet Car of the Year consumers? Way back at the end of 2009, they selected the Chevy Camaro as the Consumer Internet Car of the Year. Well, the folks at SEMA just got around to seconding that opinion almost a year later with their designation of the Chevrolet Camaro with the Hottest Car Award.

However, SEMA voters may be ahead of the curve when it comes to the Ford F-Series. The Super Duty is a finalist in the consumer voting, but the F-Series has been picked as the hottest truck in the inaugural awards. The Jeep Wranger was the hottest 4×4 SUV.

Here’s the SEMA press release:

LAS VEGAS (Nov. 2, 2010) – The inaugural SEMA Award was presented to the Chevrolet Camaro for the Hottest Car, the Ford F-Series for the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler for the Hottest 4×4-SUV, during the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

New car and truck buyers have a choice. The ability to accessorize a vehicle impacts the decision as to which vehicle to purchase. The SEMA Award identifies the most accessory-friendly new models.

Show organizers relied on the trend-setting influence of exhibitors to determine the winners.

“A booth space is a ballot, and the models these exhibitors have selected represent their vote,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO.

The 2010 SEMA Show features more than 1,900 exhibiting companies. With more exhibitors showcasing their new products and styling trends on the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford F-Series and Jeep Wrangler, the SEMA Award winners are vehicles that consumers can confidently turn to for unlimited possibilities in personalization.

SEMA Show exhibitors manufacture thousands of products that improve performance, safety and convenience, as well as those that enhance appearance and comfort. While products are available for every make and model vehicle, exhibitors are investing more into the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford F-Series, and Jeep Wrangler than any other vehicle. Consumers, therefore, can expect to find more options for accessorizing these vehicles.
