Mark Fields, Ford’s President of the Americas, accepts the hardware from Tony Swan of Car and Driver <\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nFor just the third time in the 17-year history of the North American Car and Truck of the Year, one manufacturer has taken home both pieces of etched glass. Ford’s 2010 Fusion Hybrid<\/a> and Transit Connect<\/a> have yielded the hardware for the Dearborn automaker here at the Detroit Auto Show<\/a>, with the Fusion emerging victorious over the shortlisted Buick LaCrosse<\/a> and Volkswagen Golf<\/a>, and the Transit Connect besting the Chevrolet Equinox<\/a> and Subaru Outback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last time a single manufacturer won both the Car and Truck of the Year awards was back in 2006, when Honda did double duty with its Civic<\/a> compact and Ridgeline<\/a> pickup. In total, a U.S. automaker has won the car award nine times, and the truck award, 11 times. Official press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
