Car of the YearBaby!
By encinoman
I couldn&;t have predicted this when I saw the Ford Fusion Hybrid at the LA Auto Show press days last year, or even when my wife and I bought the first Ford Fusion Hybrid off the Galpin Ford lot in March 2009. But Motor Trend just recognized our &;international supercar&; as the Car of the Year.
I had originally wanted to buy a Cadillac CTS when it was named the Car of the Year a couple of years ago, but its high price, questions about GM&;s survival and a feeling it wasn&;t time to celebrate success/excess with a Caddy steered me away. Averaging over 38 miles to the gallon over 8000 miles (on regular gas) is just one reason I&;m glad we went with Ford.
Although I can rarely wrest the Fusion away from my wife, who loves it, I&;m still a proud papa.
