Attendees of the 2011 Chicago Auto Show got to vote for their favorites in five categories during the show’s sixth annual “Best of Show” balloting. Of the five categories, Chevrolet’s Camaro took top honors in two, including Best All-New Production Vehicle and Vehicle I’d Most Like to Have in My Driveway.

Revealed at the show, the Camaro ZL1 ran away with the Best All-New Production Vehicle category, garnering 34 per cent of the votes. The runner-up car received less than half of the ZL1’s votes.

“Best of Show voting has become a benchmark measure, and winning in any category is quite meaningful for our manufacturers and exhibitors,” explained show chairman Kevin Mize. “In a year where attendance was up more than ten percent and we boasted four indoor test tracks, consumers had a better chance than ever to weigh the competitors and let their voice be heard.”

In the unique category, “Vehicle I’d most like to have in my driveway,” voters choose from any of the nearly 1000 vehicles on the show floor. In all other award classes, voting is among eight pre-selected vehicles. Typically, this is also the tighest fought category and this year was no different. The Chevrolet Camaro bested the Ford Mustang by just eleven votes, surely indicating that the muscle car is alive and well in Chicago.

The Chicago Auto Show spans more than one million square feet of exhibit space for production, concept and exotic vehicles. In addition to hosting multiple world and North American vehicle debuts, the Chicago Auto Show’s First Look for Charity raised nearly $2 million this year for 18 worthy Chicago organizations.
