   Dear Media Colleague:

The 23 vehicles listed below are this year's nominees in the Sixth Annual Interior of the Year awards, which are part of the Auto Interiors Show being held May 18-19 at Detroit's Cobo Center. The nominees were selected by the editors of Ward's Auto World magazine on overall styling, functionality, quality, fit and finish, convenience, and special features.

Winners will be selected by separate votes by members of the North American automotive news media, as well as by the industry at-large. (Employees of manufacturers whose vehicle have been nominated are not eligible to vote.)

We hope you will vote today.

There will be 8 winners: 4 selected by the news media and 4 selected by the industry at-large for the four categories listed below. The winners will be announced at a special reception on the floor of the Auto Interiors Show, Wednesday, May 18th at 3 p.m. So far, automakers have committed to have 19 of the 23 nominees at the Show, along with their design representatives.

Thanks in advance for your participation. For information on the awards, or media credentials for the Show, please contact me.
