TAWA members gather every spring to evaluate all that’s new in passenger cars, minivans and performance SUVs. The event gives Texas journalists the opportunity to drive nearly every new car on the market. This year marked the first time TAWA offered individual categories for each class of vehicle – 18 categories in all, ranging from sub-compact vehicles to super cars (over 450 hp). A total of 49 journalists attended and drove 58 cars from various manufacturers at the event.
