    North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year™ Officers Reveal Award Winners for 2024 - North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year

    • North American Car of the Year™: Toyota Prius & Prius Prime
    • North American Truck of the Year™: Ford Super Duty
    • North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™: Kia EV9

    Founded in 1994, these awards are the longest-running new-vehicle awards not associated with a single publication. They are judged by 50 professional automotive journalists from a wide variety of print, online, radio and television media outlets in the United States and Canada. The votes are confidentially tallied by Deloitte LLP, ensuring each stage of the award cycle is the collective decision of all jurors. Votes for the 2024 NACTOY winners remained secret until envelopes were opened onstage during today’s event.

    Good deal. I liked two of my three Prius: 2003, and; 2010. But there are other awards:

    so much for the new styling igniting sales. or maybe toyota production was off.

    the press loves the prius though, but they would never buy one

    Toyota is claiming 38k for the Prius family.

    30k for the hybrid and the rest for the Prime. IIRC, that is around what Toyota was expecting to sell. Maybe they could have sold more, but I think they are balancing battery supplies between multiple models. If they think a hybrid only Camry is going to sell 300k a year, they might be stockpiling some packs.

    Perhaps because they hate the Tesla and Elon Musk more.
