Here are the nominees for 2016 North American Car of the Year

Every year since 1993, an independent panel of 57 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada has awarded the North American Car and Truck of the Year award.

The nominations for 2016 were announced this week.

Over the next six months the list will be reduced to 10.

Journalists will then vote on a winner, with the award given at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2016.
