"Ford swept the 2010 North American Car and Truck Awards at the Detroit auto show Monday, marking only the third time in the 17-year history of the award that a single automaker has claimed both titles.
A panel of about 50 U.S. and Canadian automotive journalists named the Ford Fusion Hybrid the car of the year and the Ford Transit Connect, a European-style delivery van, the truck of the year.
The Fusion beat out the Buick LaCrosse and the Volkswagen Golf/GTI for the car title, while the Transit Connect, a truck that is actually shorter than the Fusion, edged out the Chevrolet Equinox and Subaru Outback for the truck title.
The automakers typically use the awards, presented at the start of the North American International Auto Show, to market their vehicles.
Last year's winners—the Hyundai Genesis and the Ford F-150 pickup—were both standout sellers in an otherwise dismal year for the industry."
