The 2005 Cadillac STS and the 2006 Hummer H3 by General Motors, have won automotive "Interior of the Year" awards in their respective car and truck categories. Nominated by Ward's Auto World magazine, the Cadillac STS won the "Industry-at-large, premium priced car.” The Hummer H3, which begins shipping to dealers later this month, won the "Industry-at-large, popular priced truck."

Exclusive features of the STS interior include Tuscany leather seats that are available with heating and cooling functions, Bose 5.1 audio system and a four-colour, adjustable navigation screen. The interior choices of the STS Cadillac include aluminium trim on both console and instrument panel on V6 models and two colour choices for wood trim that is standard on V8 models.

The 2006 Hummer H3 interior represents the future design theme for the brand. The centre stack, flush fit to the instrument panel, is finished in a material called Nissha which has a metallic finish but is resistant to light reflection and smudges.

Over 80 journalists and 900 industry at-large executives decided on the winning vehicles. The Auto Interiors Show is a large annual industry event dedicated to interiors professionals, attended by several thousand interiors professionals.
