Detroit Auto Show plays host to the annual North American Car and Truck of the year award presentation. Â The vehicles are selected from eligible all-new or refreshed cars, utilities, and trucks for the model year (2014, in this case). Â The select 48 journalists/jurors go through two rounds of voting. Â The first round is to identify the three finalists, and the second round to pick the winner of the three.
This year, the following three finalists quickly emerged: 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, and the 2014 Mazda3. Â In the end, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray received 211 points; Mazda3 185, and Cadillac CTS got 94 points. Â It was the sixth North American car of the year win for General Motors. Â The Corvette also won in 1998.
It’s also a sweep for Chevrolet. Â 2014 Chevrolet Silverado won the North American truck of the year.
Here is the debut of 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 from this year’s show:
