Midsize sedans and small crossovers dominate the list of North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists, released today.
For cars, the finalists are the Cadillac ATS, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord. In the truck category, judges must choose from among the Ford C-Max, Mazda CX-5 and Ram 1500.
“There’s no obvious favorite among the finalists, but there’s a theme: efficiency,” said Mark Phelan, Free Press auto critic and one 50 journalists on the panel of judges. “All six vehicles use the latest engineering to get more from less. Small, powerful engines, new transmissions, lightweight construction and hybrid technology are changing the nature of the vehicles we drive.”
