I think the TOTY will be the Equinox. It's simply surprised all the reviewers with things like the active sound dampening, etc. Plus, it's fuel efficient and yet roomy.

As for NACOTY, that's a tougher one. I'd say it'll be one of the following: Lacrosse, Prius or Taurus. The Lacrosse because it's a reset for Buick and they may feel Buick should get the nod because the Enclave didn't win TOTY way back when. The Taurus might win because it's a proper reset of that car, plus the SHO does the Taurus SHO justice which will only do it favours. The Prius is a long shot, but there mostly because some might feel it's finally starting to look more mainstream. Plus, it is the eco-car most people want and that will put it in the top 3 in my books.

All I know is that the 2011 Car of the Year from everybody will be the Volt.
