The nation's No. 1 newspaper asked readers to choose their favorite concept car from a list of finalists for the Automotive News International concept car of the year award. More than 10,000 people voted, more than 8,000 of whom did so online.

The victorious Cadillac Imaj, a high-tech concept car revealed at the 2000 Geneva Auto Show, extends Cadillac's philosophy of blending art and science to its logical next step: an all-wheel-drive ultra-luxury sedan with exhilarating performance and unprecedented technological applications.

The public's recognition and praise of this vehicle indicates Cadillac is moving in the right direction with its new design form vocabulary of crisp lines and sharp angles, reflected most prominently in the recently announced new two-seat Cadillac luxury roadster scheduled for production in 2003.

The Cadillac Imaj also received honors from Automotive News International judges for the vehicle's interior.

In addition, Cadillac won an Automotive World Safety Award for its Night Vision driver enhancement system. The award, given at a ceremony prior to the Paris Auto Show recognizes Cadillac's achievements in improving safety for drivers, pedestrians and other road-users through the world's first automotive application of infrared and thermal imaging technologies. Cadillac Night Vision was introduced on the 2000 DeVille and has also been announced for the 2003 luxury roadster production car.
