The dodging battery charger Sixpack — made in house of windsor, Ont. — has been named gondola of the twelvemonth at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Mich.
The Charger, which started rolling off the line in December, had already won several other awards, including TopGear’s U.S. Car of the year and The Detroit News’ vehicle of the year.
The other two nominees for the Car of the Year Award were:
Sam Klemet, executive director of the Detroit Auto Show, said he’s pleased to see Windsor-Detroit represented, and vehicles featured that were made in the area.
“We want to honour the men and women that work in this industry,” he said, and who put their “blood, sweat and tears” into designing, engineering and building the vehicles.
“Our show is an opportunity to thank them and celebrate them and their achievements and their work. Having vehicles that are made here in Detroit, in Windsor, it matters.”

U.S. President Donald Trump visited Detroit Tuesday, giving a speech at the Detroit Economic Club. He also toured a Ford plant in Dearborn, Mich.
Trump said during the tour that he wants to see more cars built in the U.S., and that the U.S. Doesn’t need vehicles made in Canada or Mexico.
“I want to see Canada and Mexico do well, but the problem is we don’t need their products,” he said.
“We don’t need cars made in Canada. We don’t need cars made in Mexico. We want to make them here and that’s what’s happening.”
The auto show is happening at Huntington Park in downtown Detroit. It’s open to the public Jan. 17-25.
