CAR AND DRIVER ANNOUNCES "10BEST" CARS FOR 2010
Imports Continue to Reign Supreme
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 2, 2009 – As the most tumultuous year in the history of the automotive industry draws to a close, Car and Driver magazine, the world's No. 1 automotive enthusiast publication, this week announced its 28th annual list of 10Best cars sold in America. With only two of the ten cars included on this year's list manufactured by US car companies, evidence continues to mount that American manufacturers still have a ways to go to catch up with many of the imports.
A positive sign of the times for an US car manufacturer is the fact the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid made the coveted list as only the second hybrid ever to be included. The Toyota Prius made the list in 2004.
