VIDEO: Ford Fusion wins MotorTrend Car of the Year Award

Posted by Hootan Mahallati | November 17, 2009 | In ford news

This is a big day for Ford, currently the healthiest American car company. During the first live broadcast of its coveted and prestigious Car of the Year Award, MotorTrend has named the Ford Fusion its 2010 Car of the Year.

Ford’s achievement is noteworthy, especially when you consider the state of affairs in Detroit as well as the stiff competition it faced (including stable mates the Mustang and Taurus). The Blue Oval has dramatically improved the quality of its cars amid the recession and invested in fresh interior and exterior styling. The Fusion is offered with four cylinder, V6 and hybrid powertrains, the last of which even betters Toyota's Camry Hybrid in driveability. Granted, these are to be expected from a global car company, but it is especially nice to see Ford surviving against the odds on its own terms.
