Ford Motor Co. swept the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards, which were announced early today at the Detroit auto show, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Ford’s Transit Connect won North American Truck of the Year and the Ford Fusion Hybrid won Car of the Year, at the start of the media preview days for the 2010 North American International Auto Show, the paper said. The Transit Connect beat the Subaru Outback and the Chevy Equinox for the award, while the Fusion beat out the Volkswagen Golf and the Buick Lacrosse, the Free Press said.
The Transit Connect, aimed at small businesses, starts at $20,780 and gets 22 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The Ford Fusion, already a strong Camry competitor, won drivers over with its 41 mpg in city driving. A jury of 49 journalists from the U.S. and Canada votes on the awards, the story said.
