Ford has a truly great hybrid: hybridcars.com The Ford Fusion Hybrid was awarded the North American Car of the Year prize at the 2010 Detroit auto show. A panel of 49 North American automotive journalists selects the winners based on innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value. One month later, the Hermance Vehicle Efficiency Award, organized by BermanWorks, the publishers of HybridCars.com, gave its inaugural prize to the 2010 Fusion Hybrid. The car was also named Motor Trend's Cary of the Year. Why is the Fusion Hybrid racking up awards? Because the vehicle sets a new benchmark in hybrid technology. Marrying a seamless, sophisticated hybrid powertrain to the outstanding Fusion platform—positioned solidly in the middle of the mainstream market—proved to be a winning combination. It’s fun to drive and speaks of refinement all around, from handling and braking through comfort and convenience. Yet, the Ford Fusion Hybrid has been a sleeper, selling far fewer units than the Toyota Prius or the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Perhaps this recognition as the car of the year, and other accolades, will help consumers become more aware of the Fusion Hybrid in their purchase decisions. MORE @ link
