Last week’s Beijing auto show was full of interesting designs–some which will eventually make it to the road, while others are shuttled off to a warehouse. The AutoWeek editors at the show found plenty to look at and debate over in order to decide which vehicles deserved our Editors’ Choice awards for the show.
The 2010 Autoweek Editors’ Choice Award winner for the Best in Show at Beijing is: Mercedes-Benz Concept Shooting Break
In much the same way that the Mercedes-Benz CLS rewrote the rules for sedan styling when it first appeared, the Shooting Break Concept will change the way we think about station wagons. Like the CLS, the Shooting Break is a four-door, but with the same kind of swoopy design that evokes a traditional two-door shooting brake. Given that the concept is penciled in for production as the wagon version of the next-gen CLS sedan that will debut at this fall’s Paris motor show, we can’t think of a car at Beijing that will leave a more lasting impression.
“The Shooting Break was a clear choice as Best in Show. The car is visually stunning,” executive editor Roger Hart said.
