Each year at the Detroit Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/), the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/eyes+on+design/) award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler/) designer and SRT (http://www.autoblog.com/srt/) president Ralph Gilles (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ralph+gilles/), Kia (http://www.autoblog.com/kia/) designer Peter Schreyer (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/peter+schreyer/) and retired General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general+motors/) designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/12/2015-mercedes-benz-c-class-detroit-2014/) and Ford F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/), the 2015 Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/14/volvo-concept-xc-coupe-detroit-2014/) took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/13/toyota-ft-1-concept-detroit-2014/) and our Editors' Choice top pick (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/15/editors-choice-top-five-2014-detroit-auto-show-debuts/), the Kia GT4 Stinger (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/13/kia-gt4-stinger-concept-detroit-2014/). Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/13/audi-allroad-shooting-brake-detroit-2014/)
