Great job GM!!! I expected the silverado to win, but I'm floored that the Aura won it as well. It's a huge win for GM, Detroit, and America. Shows you what you can achieve if you design it right from the BEGINNING.

I have to chuckle about the Aurora though - this car started life as the 2001 Vauxhall Vectra!!! (from Europe - sorry)

Ive always liked their trucks over the competition. They have style.
