ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine Announces 2006 International Car of the Year Awards Winners

ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine (RTM) announced its

600 industry leaders and media on the eve of press week of the North American
International Auto Show.
A jury of 12 nationally-renowned automotive journalists selected the Top
10 automobiles with ballots tabulated by J.D. Power and Associates.

And the winners are:
* Car of the Year: Dodge Charger

average consumer can identify with," says RTM Editor-In-Chief Courtney
Caldwell.
RTM also recognized veteran automotive journalist David E. Davis, Jr. with
its third annual Lifetime Achievement Award. Described as "the dean of
America's automotive critics" by Time Magazine, Davis is widely recognized as
the guru of the automobile industry. RTM also presented its second annual
