The North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year finalists have been announced ahead of a January 11th awards ceremony.

The nine vehicles were chosen from 27 semifinalists by a panel of 50 journalists who looked at the latest all-new or significantly redesigned models.

The awards were traditionally given out adjacent to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but the start of that event has been moved to September for the next three years.
