2011 North American Car and Truck of the Year Finalists - Click above for high-res image gallery
Predictable, yet worthy. That's how we're feeling about this year's crop of choices for the 2011 North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists. Without further ado, here they are (in alphabetical order, all 2011 models):
Car:
Chevrolet Volt (http://autoblog.com/model/volt)
Hyundai Sonata (http://autoblog.com/model/sonata)
Nissan Leaf (http://autoblog.com/model/leaf)
Truck:
Dodge Durango (http://autoblog.com/model/durango)
Ford Explorer (http://autoblog.com/model/explorer)
Jeep Grand Cherokee (http://www.autoblog.com/model/grand+cherokee)
See? Predictable, yet worthy. There was little doubt that the 2011 Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf would make the list, and the Hyundai Sonata has done an admirable job of shaking up the established midsize sedan hierarchy. On the truck side of the equation, it's none too surprising to see a trio of people-moving 'utes, seeing as though the category has just be reinvigorated by a number of substantially reworked and worthy players. Click past the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/16/2011-north-american-car-and-truck-of-the-year-finalists-shortlis/#continued) for the official press release.
But, as usual, it's your opinions we're most interested in. While our completely unscientific polls will have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the actual results of the official voting, we urge you to make your voice heard anyway. Now, get to voting!
