Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Leading UAE based magazine, Middle East Car, has named the Chevrolet Caprice “Best LWB Executive Car” for 2007. The award is presented annually by a jury of ten automotive authorities in the Middle East and around the world consisting of leading automotive journalists and other industry experts.

According to Publishing Director RMS magazines and Editor-in-Chief Middle East Car, Philip Moore, “The jury found the Chevrolet Caprice like no other vehicle in its class, delivering an unprecedented experience,” said Moore. “This vehicle is a true leader in its category – where buyers no longer need to sacrifice performance and style for utility.”

This is the first time the influential Middle East Car magazine has presented Car of the Year Awards. Philip Moore continued, “The publication had been responding to requests from the market and the COTYs would be an annual event from now on”.

The Chevrolet Caprice, winner of Best LWB Executive Car, balances great proportions, world class exterior and interior styling, and creative design elements to give a stately stance on the road. Reinforcing Caprice’s generous heritage, the Caprice makes its own statement about what a large sedan should be.  With its advanced technologies and functional, user-friendly features, the  Chevrolet Caprice is stronger and better equipped than ever before.

The Caprice is set to build on the success and tradition of its predecessor as one of the legends of the regional car market, maintaining its pre-eminence as the car of choice among statesmen, government officials, business executives and large families.

“Chevrolet’s reputation for reliability and for driveability has ensured that our heritage has developed into the success we see today with our expanded product portfolio,” said Terry Johnsson. “Our strategy is to continue to maximize our global resources to bring great new cars and SUVs to the region and to compete in all-new segments under the Chevrolet brand.”

Moore concluded, “The COTY awards have several functions. One is to salute every single person involved in providing vehicles to consumers in the Middle East. We have taken a long time to decide to give awards because we take such a matter very seriously. We salute all finalists and winners. There would always be a modicum of disappointment from some that they might not have won COTY”.
