Starting November 4 and lasting through December 6, visitors to the Cars.com Facebook page can vote for their pick for the Shoppers' Choice Award.

"This year, we're kicking voting up a notch," said Olsen. "Cars.com is all about drama-free car shopping, so in honor of that, one lucky voter who enters to win will receive a trip for two to Miami for a No Drama Luxury Car Tour that includes an afternoon behind the wheel of several exotic rides."

The winning vehicle will be honored on January 14, 2014 at the Cars.com Best of 2014 Awards Show in Detroit. This year marks the fourth year Cars.com has given out the Shoppers' Choice award. In both 2012 and 2013, the Dodge Challenger was the winner.
