The Ford Fusion Hybrid just won Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 2010:

And I'm afraid the driving force behind Ford's American offerings has been the American buyers Which is also the reason I am excited to see Americans adopt rallying.

Also, I would consider Monte Carlo (an IRC event for 2010) a very good test of the car and guess what...

Mikko Hirvonen WON driving...a Ford Fiesta S2000 (Ford's WRC car for 2011).

are the rankings :-D

congrats to both pastrana and mirra on their finishings.

Sorry to hear about Block getting a DNF but you must remember that he has had crap luck in terms of rallying recently. i think he finished poorly last season as well. Hope things get better for the block man!

Hey I like Subaru and Ford, I drive both. If they brought a AWD turbo hatch I would consider getting one. I thought I heard about them bringing a turbo RS over recently??

tbh i would love to see ford grow. we need something to TRULY boost the economy here. I am pretty sure if Ford brought out a car thats directed more towards teen things would change. i think the last attempt was a focus and that just didnt look too good and i heard the "SVT" wasnt much of an SVTesque vehicle.

I personally love subies ever chance i bought impreza 2.5i and i just dont know if ill ever leave the brand anymore. decently priced for the most part and handling that outbeats most cars around the same price range.

but back to ford! great company. i just wish they would put more works into their "compact" vehicles like they put focus into their trucks. Ford i've felt has always had great potential but they just bring out vehicles like the focus I do like the way the fusion is designed though.

sorry if i rambled and repeated just cant sleep even though my brains burnt out from staying up ><
