Being that the end of 2009 also marks the end of a tidy little decade, the editors at the magazine took the opportunity to bestow one important car with the title Car of the Decade &#8211; the first time in the 17 years that <em>Robb Report<\/em> has been handing out automotive awards that it&#8217;s granted two in one year. So, who won?<\/p>\n<p>First up is the Car of the Year, which goes out to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/sls+amg\">Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG<\/a>. In taking the award, the SLS AMG beat out 11 other worthy contenders to the throne. Certainly not a terrible choice by any means, though this particular writer has yet to find himself lodged behind the Gullwing&#8217;s leather-wrapped steering wheel. Moving on, then.<em><\/p>\n<p>Robb Report&#8217;s<\/em> Car of the Decade trophy has been awarded to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/veyron\">Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport<\/a>.
