This week the The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) opened to the press and industry professionals at Cobo Center in Detroit.
Kicking off the event was the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards.
The 2012 Hyundai Elantra took 2012 North American Car of the Year.
And, the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque was named the 2012 North American Truck of the Year award.
Tracy Samilton reports:
The mood at the North American International Auto Show is upbeat. Sure, Europe’s debt crisis and the battered Euro have auto executives concerned, but so far that crisis isn’t stopping the U.S. economy’s improvement, albeit at a very measured (slow) pace.
