Last year General Motors walked away with so many awards last year, however according to MLive it is a different story this year. This year the Chevrolet Malibu was given the title of 2008 North American Car of the year, but Mazda decided to join in on the party and spoil it a little for GM by having the Mazda CX-9 crossover being named as North American Truck of the Year.
