Ford Fusion, Transit Connect, 2010 Car & Truck of the Year
2010 is without a doubt one banner year for Ford – as their Fusion sedan and Transit Connect van have won North America’s Car & Truck of the Year awards! More specifically, the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which has grabbed attention long before the vehicle debuted back in 2009, and Ford’s European-design Econoline replacement – the all around incredible Transit Connect.
According to Automotive News: The Fusion Hybrid topped car finalists Buick LaCrosse and Volkswagen Golf. The Transit Connect came out on top over the Chevrolet Equinox and Subaru Outback. In the 17 years for the awards, U.S.-based automakers have taken home the car trophy nine times. European companies have won four times, Japanese three and South Korea’s Hyundai once.
It’s probably safe to put your money on more hybrid vehicles winning the prestigious award, based on the accolades of auto journalists from across the continent – whether they are as big a car as Fusion or as small a “truck” as Transit Connect.
