If they could give last year's award to ginormous body-on-frame SUVs, then surely they can give this year's to a small, clean diesel sedan...can't they?

Diesel, yes gives great milage but it way too expensive in most places and still pollutes quite a bit. So no BMW or VW
The Smart still doesn't get great milage for its size and its practical outside an urban area. That and it's only 2 seats so not practical for a family either.
The Vue is just another Hybrid SUV which has been done a dozen times already.
The Fusion is a reskin of the surrent one but is promising in terms of milage and technology (like the SmartGauge).
I think the Fusion is going to take it.

If I'm wrong, and someone can correct me, feel free, my internet tubes are all cloggy today.
Can't argue with you about diesel being too expensive right now, it's still over a buck a litre here in Canada when regular is down to 93 cents in some places.

I vote for the BMW. Their chassis work is pretty much in a league of its own, coupled with diesel torque...seems nice to me.

Call me a fanboi, but the Jetta really ought to win this one.
