Two Cadillac CTS models, the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and the CTS Concept Coupe, swept the production and concept car categories at the 2008 EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), as the new BMW X6 and the Chrysler ecoVoyager took respective production and concept truck honours.The only automotive design awards selected and judged by top automotive design experts from around the world, the EyesOn Design Awards for Design Excellence was the final event of the Press Preview Days portion of the 2008 NAIAS. This year’s panel of 20 automotive design experts that selected the winners was led by a trio of Chief Judges that included Chris Bangle, BMW Group Design Chief, Jack Telnack, Vice President of Global Design, Ford Motor Co. (retired) and Nate Young, of the Art Centre College of Design.The judges spent the morning hours of the NAIAS show floor, carefully reviewing the complete list of nearly 50 production and concept vehicles that were unveiled in the last three days at the Detroit Show.”The only thing better than winning one of these awards is winning two,” said Eric Clough, Director of Design of Cadillac Interiors, who joined his colleague, John Manoogian II, Cadillac Studio Director of Exterior Design, in accepting both Cadillac CTS awards.
