Canadian and American auto journalists have announced the preliminary list of contenders for the 2014 North American Car and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) awards.

There are many vehicles in both cases, but some of them may fall off the list if they don't become available for judging, while others not appearing on the list right now may still be added in the coming weeks.

A first round of voting will take place this fall following the initial test drives. A dozen models will advance to the next stage. Later, 3 finalists will be announced for each award, and the big winners will be crowned at the 2014 NAIAS in Detroit.
