The preliminary list of semifinalists of the 2015 North American Car & Truck of the Year is out and oddly, Volkswagen didn’t make the list.
General Motors sports four car of the year nominees, including the Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Camaro, Malibu and Volt while Tesla’s Model X is up for Truck/Utility of the year. Automotive journalists — 57 of them, in fact — will vote on the cars in October.
The winners will be announced in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Here is the list of nominees (our predictions) in no particular order — or perhaps alphabetical:
Car of the Year
Truck/Utility of the Year

- Analoggrotto TTAC is full of drug addicts with short memories. Just beside this article is another very beautiful article about how the EV9 was internationally voted by a renowned board of automotive experts who are no doubt highly educated, wealthy and affluent; the best vehicle in entire world. That's planet earth for you numbskulls. Let me repeat: the best vehicle in the world is the Kia EV9. Voted, and sealed, and if you try to deny it Fanny Willis is ready to prosecute you; but she will send her boyfriend instead because she is busy.

Car of the year: Nissan Maxima. Pushes all the right buttons, daringly good looking design, really high end ultra styled materials, good performance, decent MPG, but has a CVT. Journalists do like this car though. Truck/utility: Tacoma or the XC90. Both vehicles get huge updates. But which one had the most profound update? The Volvo. It has style, an overwhelming sense of luxury, efficiency, and bubble-wrap levels of safety. But it wouldn't surprise me if the Tacoma pulls out a win since the small pickup game has been severely neglected and the current Tacoma refresh is a good evolutionary upgrade on an already great pickup.
Fifty-seven journalists will decide? That's a lot of bribes, no wonder car prices are so high.
