Choosing the best car and truck of the year? It's a difficult task in any year. But automakers have gotten so good, for the most part, in achieving high quality even in the least expensive cars and trucks that any choices made are bound to invite heavy debate and argument.
Before we get to which vehicles were selected by AOL Autos staff editors, let's turn to a couple of other arbiters to see which models they chose. MotorTrend Magazine, probably the most influential car enthusiast magazine when it comes to choosing car and truck of the year, weighed in recently with the 2011 Volkswagen Passat as Car of the Year, and the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque as Truck of the Year.
We think they were half right.
Another body, the North American Car of the Year/Truck of the Year organization, will make its choices known at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month. That organization, a jury of fifty journalists from different media outlets, vote on their favorites.
That group's three finalists in each category are Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra and Volkswagen Passat for the car award, and Honda CR-V, BMW X3 and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque for the truck category.
Among the newly designed vehicles released in 2011 that were eligible for MotorTrend, North America Car/Truck of the Year, as well as our selection, were the following 2011 models: Audi A6 and A7, Buick Verano, Chrysler 300, Fiat 500, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Rio, Scion iQ, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Camry, Toyota Prius V, VW Beetle, Mercedes-Benz M Class, MINI Countryman, Nissan Quest and Saab 9-4X.
