They honor the best production and concept vehicles in the world and have attracted added interest this year as designers work with new architectures presented by electric vehicle development. Without a gas engine up front breathing through giant grilles, designers have new freedom to create &#8220;frunks&#8221;\u00a0\u2014 front trunks \u2014 elongated cabins, and new fascias.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/09\/14\/PDTN\/6ef23718-30f0-448e-b335-aeac0d9c954c-2022-0914-dm-naias00322.jpg?width=660&amp;height=440&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/09\/14\/PDTN\/6ef23718-30f0-448e-b335-aeac0d9c954c-2022-0914-dm-naias00322.jpg?width=1320&amp;height=880&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" alt=\"Buick Wildcat EV at the 2022 North American International Auto Show.\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"gnt_em_img_ccw gnt_em_img_ccw__cap gnt_em_img_ccw__crd\" data-c-caption=\"Buick Wildcat EV at the 2022 North American International Auto Show.\" data-c-credit=\"Daniel Mears, Detroit News\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Though the Buick Wildcat failed to win a category, it received the most nominations with three.
