If you've ever needed any more proof that Hyundai is the car brand to top all car brands, then look no further than the "North American Car of the Year" award, which is given out at the Detroit Auto Show each year. This year, the coveted award went out to the 2012 Hyundai Elantra, and we here at Signature VW Hyundai couldn't be more proud!

For those of you who are unaware of just how prestigious an award like this is; The "North American Car of the Year" is determined by a panel of 50 independent judges. These individuals range from journalists to general enthusiasts and everyone in between. In other words, the judges for this award know the industry inside and out, and they're not easily bought off or persuaded, which only serves to add to how impressive it is that Hyundai took home this honor.

Another interesting tidbit about the "North American Car of the Year" award is that there are no specific categories or segments. Rather than dividing up the competition into luxury, crossover, truck, compact, economy, and other segments, the award is kept to two divisions: Car and Truck (which also encompasses crossover and SUV models). That means the Elantra bested some of the most "luxurious" rides on the road, as well as some of the most performance-driven. In the end, though, these rides simply couldn't compete with the build quality and efficiency of the Hyundai Elantra.
