akirby Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not really a surprise given their popularity and lack of competition. But we’ll deserved nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeluxeStang Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Well deserved, especially the maverick. That thing is going to be a game changer, let's just hope it's reliable. I'm hopeful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 In case anyone is wondering, the 3rd winner (North American Car of the Year) is Honda Civic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictor Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My wife and I we’re looking over the weekend for something to replace the Escape. We considered both but decided the Maverick was a better choice for our situation. Found several dealers willing to accept MSRP without adm and went with the one who wasn’t requiring me to make the pilgrimage to dealership to put in the order. Funny, saw plenty of Broncos at the dealerships with stupid high ADM but not a single Maverick to be seen. The hybrid was never play for us in that we needed the 4k towing capability, just as well since those books are closed till August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovaltine Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Just as an FYI for those of us (myself originally included) who don't know what group/body of people sanctioned these awards: https://triblive.com/news/wire-stories/ford-maverick-bronco-win-truck-utility-of-the-year-awards/ DETROIT — For the second year in a row, vehicles from Ford Motor Co. took two of the three North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year awards. The company’s Maverick compact pickup won truck of the year, while its Bronco off-road SUV earned the utility of the year. Honda’s redesigned Civic compact car won the car of the year. Fifty automotive journalists from the United States and Canada are judges for the three awards, which are announced every January. They’re chosen from dozens of candidates and must be new or substantially changed for the current model year. Automakers often use the awards in advertising. -Ovaltine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
