Also

Writers from North America vote and decide.

I'm guessing Fusion/Fusion Hybrid gets it due to the hype around the hybrid model.

There are no new "real" trucks out for 2010.

If I had to guess,

Fusion or Prius, more likely the Fusion.

&

'Nox or SRX, more likely the Equinox.

My guess:

Camaro and Transit Connect

Side note: Why does the spell check on a Camaro website say that Camaro is spelled wrong?

It's not like I spelled it Camero or something. :P

Camaro won't win. It's usually the vehicle that will have the "most impact" on the market that wins. "Green" is obviously in, that's why I picked the Fusion and the suv that gets almost the same mileage as a compact car without a hybrid or diesel option.
