2016 AUTOMOTIVE NEWS ALL-STAR AWARDS

See the honorees

General Motors has had an excellent 2016. It's making money, posting great quality scores in a variety of product surveys and is becoming a hot topic in Silicon Valley where it is expanding into ride sharing and autonomous driving. It felt like a no-brainer for the Automotive News staff to select Mary Barra as Industry Leader of the Year and top CEO, North America, and we picked seven other GM executives for this 28-person All-Stars list.
