Finalists for the 2008 North American Car of the Year are the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Malibu and Honda Accord.
Finalists for the 2008 North American Truck of the Year are the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and Mazda CX-9.
The North American Car and Truck of the Year will be announced Jan. 13 at a news conference at the start of media days at the Detroit auto show.
The finalists, as selected by an independent jury of 47 automotive journalists, were unveiled during a news conference today at the Detroit Economic Club. Although the awards are announced each year at the Detroit auto show, the show does not give the
awards. Operating expenses for the awards are defrayed by membership dues, and there are no outside subsidies.
This year’s jury comprises 47 automotive journalists and broadcasters from across the United States and Canada, including Automotive News Executive Editor Edward Lapham, AutoWeek Interactive Editor Dale Jewett and AutoWeek Road Test Editor
Natalie Neff. Automotive News and AutoWeek are published in Detroit by Crain Communications Inc.
Last year’s winners, the 2007 North American Car and Truck of the Year, were the Saturn Aura and Chevrolet Silverado. The awards have been given since 1994.
