While I think Ford is a great company, these awards are PRESS awards and the fact they went to these vehicles tell you where the PRESS is... FORD makes great vehicles, but neither of these 2 vehicles are all that exciting, except to the press and greenie weenies. They aren’t bad vehicles, but they aren’t car or truck of the year candidates.
Seriously the TRANSIT is the “TRUCK OF THE YEAR”??? Are you kidding me? The Hybrid FOCUS is the “CAR OF THE YEAR”??? Be serious, if that doesn’t tell you how left of Hitler the automotive press is these days in terms of what they consider important, I can’t tell you what does.
Don’t get me wrong, they are both fine vehicles, but vehicles of the year??? I don’t think so.
Holy cow.. what lame even contenders to be car or truck of the year.. not a single real Truck, nor an exciting car at all... How sad.
