With lots of space and a five-seater plus a hybrid, who could not have won that award. Ford really does its best. Godspeed to Ford.

Congrats to the C-Max for winning this award. I think we'll see car companies concentrating a lot more on EV's and hybrid's considering the fact that we will run out of fuel fossils sooner than later.
