Finalists Picked for North American Car and Truck of the Year

The all new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado is the only truck I would buy to haul my stuff around in.

It's a good looking truck, but I still like the Ford better. It just looks more mean to me.

Besides, what is that Mazda doing in the real truck category any way?

silverarrow2, your name caught my eye. What do you drive?

No Honda CRV on the list?

I am not surprise, because they take things for granted by not letting real designers design the darn thing.

Toyota Camry, again?

Wouldn't the Lexus LS460 be a better choice? Or are these votes value-oriented?

what's the difference? You can't tell wich is wich.

True.

Damn silverarrow2, that was funny!

I would check out the open mic nites at your local comedy club.

If you say the current generation Camry can be easily mistaken for the current generation LS then one of the following must be true:

You have vision problems, you are unintelligent, you are being funny, or you are just trolling.

I tend to be optomistic and think a lot of people here are just being humourous.

TRUCK? Where? The chev is the closest to that description,the rest are nice cross over vehicles but not trucks! The chev is nothing more than a nice towing princess,(I would like one for that).In the truck catagorie the Dodge Power wagon (If you can afford the gas)is in a class of its own!The chevy off-road package concists of stickers and better shocks!(big deal).The rest don't even have that to brag about!I forgot to mention the Jeep Rubicon (KING).The journalist should rename this pagent to cross over of the year.The utility has been missing in trucks and sports utility for some time!I am happy to hear the chev is easy on gas,If they could only improve fuel mielage and maintain off road ability and to be utilitarian! "TRUCK!"

I should have been more specific, The Dodge Power Wagon ,Hummer H-1, Mercedes UNIMOG and the Jeep Rubicon are the only trucks and SUV period!It doesn't mean I don't like the rest for towing and loading them up with whatever, they are watered down 4x4s.Princesses!On the upside they are pretty.

i think the fit should win, fuel efficient, space efficient and looks good.

I call Toyota Camry and Ford Edge (Yuk)...quote me on it! Holler.

Doesn't the Edge and the CX7 share the same platform? If so, what does that say for the 49 "automotive journalists"?

Great choices. Congratulations to all the automakers, their parent companies and subsidiaries on being chosen.

These are all pretty bland cars... I know this is probably supposed to be about the "average joe", but can't they excite us with something expensive?

Car: Toyota Camry
Truck: Mazda CX-7

JUGNU

Truck, SUV, CUV, crossover.... I'm not really sure what consititutes what "truck" anymore.... Is it that vehicles that sit slightly higher than cars ????

sracekili: You seem like the only other person that can relate to this misnamed "pagent" Read my rant above!
