The nominees have been announced for the 2010 North American Car and Truck of the Year competition.

This award is presented each year at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit and is the result of voting by dozens of journalists across several media.

This year’s list of nominees includes both the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon on the car side and the 2010 SRX on the truck side (providing at least the potential of an all-Cadillac podium in January).

Good luck Cadillac!

JD Power has released the results of their 2009 APEAL survey. The APEAL is a measure of “how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive…”

This year, Cadillac came in second in the Entry Luxury category with the CTS.

While this is the only explicitly spelled out model in the entire survey, Cadillac pulled off something interesting…

They came in third as a brand behind only Porsche and Jaguar. That’s right, Cadillac is more ‘APEAL’-ing than Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus.

Way to go Cadillac! Just imagine how they’ll do once the new uber-Cadillac sedan, the CTS coupe, the sub-CTS sedan, and the Converj all make it to market.
