Autoweek Picks their favorites

Autoweek writes picked the most what they felt were the most significant cars  at this years North American Auto show.

                                                                                                              --Most Fun: Audi R8 V12 TDI concept. "The R8 is already one of the sexiest supercars on the road," said Mandel. "But Audi upped the game considerably with a turbocharged V12 diesel."
--Best Concept: Cadillac CTS Coupe. "We can't wait to see this on the road," said Mandel. "You can even see fins in the taillights."
--Most Significant: 2009 Ford F-150. "This is the bread-and-butter vehicle for Ford. If Ford is going to bounce back, it will do so on the back of this new F-150."
--Best of Show: 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. "This is an iconic car and an iconic Corvette. A carbon-fiber body and 620 hp under the hood--we love it."
The awards were handed out on Wednesday during the AutoWeek Design Forum in Detroit.

It's certainly bodes well to see a few American cars on the list,the ZR1 Corvette seemed to have captured the hearts and minds of the press which is especially interesting when you consider that that no one has had a chance to drive one, and The 2009 Ford F150 made the list which hopefully bodes well for this storied Brand, Ford needs all the help it can get.

                                                                                                            Audi made the List with its latest concept which is sure to please the discerning consumer with deep enough pockets.

                                                                                                        Cadillac made the list as well with its' upcoming CTS coupe concept which shows that Cadillac is on the right path.
