Hopefully you found it to be a productive use of your time, unlike those Simpsons' reruns you're addicted to.

This is the Edmunds' Inside Line 2009 Readers' Most Wanted Awards. Unlike the Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted Awards, which honors only a handful of vehicles each year, the 2009 Inside Line Readers' Most Wanted Awards covers more ground. This year there were 15 categories organized according to vehicle type and price range.

Because it's 2009, only 2009 model-year vehicles were included in the voting and price classifications were based on base MSRP, be it under or over $30,000. The Best Concept Car category, of course, had no price restriction, because, well, it's a concept car. You should also note that the awards will be given to the specific trim level listed. In other words, the Ford Mustang is the Ford Mustang and the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500.

Now, read on to see if any of your favorites made the cut. Then check the results against our 2009 Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted Awards. Believe it or not, sometimes editors and readers like the same machines, and sometimes we don't.

Below is a list of the 2009 model-year vehicle winners in each category, and we've included a few comments you guys sent in along with your votes. Thanks again for voting, and congratulations to the winners.
