2021 Brand Image Awards: Best Styling Brands

Best Brand: Dodge

Classic muscle-car looks that have been updated for a new generation of car fans and an athletic SUV are strong points for Dodge. These Dodge style elements are why the brand wins in this category for the third year in a row. Dodge’s designs are inherently American, its cars reflecting a modern-day take on the 1960s and 1970s. But Dodge takes that a step further. Look at the attractive Challenger coupe and Charger sedan. Not only are there throwback colors to choose from, but there are special packages like the Scat Pack and screaming 707-horsepower Hellcat that build on the company’s street performance heritage. No wonder Dodge is turning heads.


 

Best Luxury Brand: Porsche

Porsche reclaims its styling title from Tesla, having last won this category in 2019. While the 911, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman designs are iconic in their own right, Porsche returns to the top of the styling charts for luxury brands on the strength of its new Taycan electric sedan. Taycan’s sleek shape and high performance are both head-turning and neck-snapping.
