No no, the Motor Trend COTY award and the NA COTY award are completely separate. The Motor Trend award is totally administered by MT. They test all the vehicles that qualify, narrow down finalists, tests those some more, and make a decision. The North American Car of the Year is voted on by a board of automotive journalists and other industry insiders. Domestics and Imports are eligible for both awards. So last year MT picked the Camry as its COTY, and the other journalists picked the Aura for their own award.

And with the Aura, Saturn is just a low volume brand, kinda niche, so even if it is a good car, you still won't see large sales numbers.
