LOS ANGELES Jan. 3, 2006
MOTOR TREND magazine, the world's automotive authority and part of the PRIMEDIA Consumer Automotive Group, today announced its second annual Power List rankings. Recognizing the real power in the auto business isn't always under the hood, the editors at MOTOR TREND have selected the top 50 people who have shaped the world's auto industry over the past 12 months. MOTOR TREND's 2006 Power List ranks these players by influence and impact on the automotive landscape and highlights the significant contributions that earned them a place on the list.
"Behind every great car, is an even greater person," said Angus MacKenzie, editor-in-chief, MOTOR TREND. "The automotive industry is molded by dynamic, creative and instinctive thinkers and is one of the few industries where one person has the potential to transform an entire marketplace.
