You know what this is - it's time for our 2026 Drivers' Choice Awards! Each year, the MotorWeek staff votes on their favorite picks for the best cars, trucks and utilities they've driven, and we share the results in one special episode. Of course, we'll also have our pick for overall "Best of the Year," and we'll even look back at some of our previous winners in an anniversary throwback segment.

We're kicking off another annual MotorWeek tradition with the Dodge Charger SIXPACK, the internal-combustion variant of the eighth-gen Charger and the subject of our first Roebling track test of the season. We'll follow that up with the Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, a slightly more rugged take on this popular compact utility.

The Porsche Panamera GTS is the next subject of our yearly track testing at Roebling Road Raceway. We'll see how it manages to build upon the Panamera's already impressive "track record," then try to keep our puns to a minimal as we shift over to Hyundai's three-row utility, the Palisade, which sees some important improvements.
