And the winners are...

Sitting here at the Detroit Auto Show, awaiting the announcement of the winners of the North American Car And Truck of the Year awards.

These are chosen by a group of about 50 journalists from Canada (including yours truly) and the US.

The finalists for Truck are: Dodge Ram, Ford F-150, and Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTec.

And the winner is: the Ford F-150. Slam-dunk, actually.

The finalists for Car are: Ford Flex, Hyundai Genesis, and Volkswagen Jetta TDI.

And the winner is: Hyundai Genesis. Another slam dunk, actually.

BTW, when was the last time there wasn't a single Japanese-branded finalist in either category?
