On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Road and Travel Magazine hosted the annual International Car of the Year Awards ceremony, and without further ado, we'll tell you that Lexus and GM were the big winners. The automagically self-parking Lexus LS 460 sedan garnered top honors on the car side, while GM scored the trophy for International Truck of the year with its new Silverado Crew Cab pickup.

Other ICOTY category honorees included:

Sports Car: Jaguar XK
Sedan: Toyota Camry
Luxury Car: Lexus LS 460
Minivan: Hyundai Entourage
Entry Level: Mazdaspeed3
Crossover: Mazda CX-7

Hopefully, we start getting Lexus down here soon. I have some friends with some older BMWs and Mercedes who are waiting for just that and didn't think the Acuras they sell here were stylish enough for their tastes, but every time I show they see the new Lexuses online, especially the new L460 they get jumpy.
