Fusion, GTI pick up top honors for 2010
Car of the Year awards for the 2010 models are rolling out, starting with Automobile Magazine bestowing the honor on the Volkswagen GTI. The 2010 model has an updated look that adds to its combination of sporty power and fuel-efficiency. The Ford Fusion was Motor Trend magazine's pick. The midsize car was refreshed this year with an upgraded engine, new transmission, better fuel efficiency, and a redesigned front end and interior.
