This year's Detroit Auto Show, in the very city often referred to as the birthplace of the automobile, has once again attracted the most prominent assembly of automotive enthusiasts, journalists, and manufacturers from around the world.
News and information coming out of the show was closely monitored by Quest's own senior representatives in order to keep abreast of all the latest technology, innovations, and manufacturer presentations.
One of the highlights of this show every year are the numerous automobile category awards voted on by no less than 60 professional journalists.
As these awards are the most highly anticipated of the year, especially by manufacturers whose products sell throughout North America, the definitive honour of North American Car of the Year came down to a contest between the new Toyota Camry, Honda's revitalized Accord, and the revolutionary Kia Stinger.
Certainly all worthy candidates for the award as best of the best; however, since there can be only one, this year's award went to Honda's flagship Accord.
Other accolades at the show included:
- Volvo's XC60 triumphed over the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda's Odyssey to win the utility category (which covers everything from crossovers to minivans).
-The Lincoln Navigator edged out the Ford Expedition and Chevy's Colorado ZR2 in the truck category.
