AMA: Car and Driver's 10Best Cars, Trucks, and SUVs for 2026. Ask away

Every year, we hold a seriously intensive competition to select the very best vehicles you can buy. Our editors spend two weeks driving, testing, and evaluating new and updated models along with last year's winners. From them, we choose the 10Best Cars and 10Best Trucks and SUVs. This year, we thought it would be fun to do an AMA on the day we reveal the latest 10Best list.

We have a selection of our voters from the editorial team: Executive editor K.C. Colwell (u/A2KC), managing testing editor Dave Beard (u/nameonface), testing director Dave VanderWerp (u/dave2979), Buyer's Guide director Rich Ceppos (u/Arcee\_285), technical editor Austin Irwin (u/BoddeanChungus), video deputy editor Carlos Lago (u/clago), and others will be answering any questions you have about this year’s contenders, winners, logistics, and the event in general. AMA!
