North American Car of the Year has announced the short lists for the 2014 car and truck/utility of the year awards. The previous long lists, which were released in July, were narrowed down to 12 vehicles each.
A short glance of the Car of the Year short list reveals General Motors has made it with three vehicles, while 6 our of 12 nominations account for Japanese-based automakers, while the Germans are represented by the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz CLA.
Moving on to the truck/utility list, we can find three more GM-built cars - the Buick Encore and the Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra twins - and only two European contenders, the BMW X5 and the Range Rover Sport.
