It would be nice if some would be available for testing! It would be pretty hard to have it win without having one to test.

It's funny how these awards work where vehicles that just get on the market or haven't reached the market are already nominated. It's not just the GV80, the Mach-E and Bronco Sport aren't out yet either.

But do I think it has a shot at winning yes I do. I predict that it's going to be a finalist but I don't know if it's going to win.

I agree, the GV80 is very impressive in pictures, videos and on paper. It's definitely a contender.

My immediate thought was "well of course it will be". But now I'm looking at that list and there's a lot of competition.

The Mach-E is super interesting.
And the Bronco has been a BIG deal.

If it was the big Bronco I'd agree, but this is the smaller one that I'm not sure has received the same amount of buzz.

Looks like the GV80's testing for Utility Vehicle of the Year has begun.
