It was a great day for the Ford Motor Company.
Its vehicles won the North American car and truck of the year.
Ford's Transit Connect Truck took top honors for its unique styling and ability to provide many small business solutions.
It offers twice the fuel economy of full-size vans, lots of cargo room, and is able to maneuver in tight spaces.
The Ford Fusion hybrid is North America's car of the year.
Jonathan Richards, Ford Fusion Marketing Manager says, "One of the things the independent press has said about that car is that it combines the hybrid element of fuel economy, 41 mpg, and being fun to drive."
Ford is excited about the interest in its new Fiesta.
Unveiled at the LA Auto Show there are already 4,000 orders for the vehicle.
