Best Car
Ford Fiesta
Yes, it’s a Ford. The 2009 Fiesta is the epitome of the kind of cars consumers need now: small, stylish, and fuel-thrifty. In fact, the Fiesta earns up to 65 miles per gallon, thanks to an efficient diesel engine. The catch? It won’t make it stateside until 2010, and Ford isn’t sure it can make the business case for importing the $25,000 vehicle as is. The carmaker will likely manufacture a gas version for Americans.

Worst Car
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
General Motor’s $72,000 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid may be the worst-timed, least-relevant new model introduction in decades. The new Escalade is not without virtues, featuring advanced technology similar to Toyota’s Prius which improves fuel economy 50% over gas versions, to 21 miles per gallon. Still, brash, ostentatious, and, well, gaudy, the Escalade makes the very opposite statement GM is trying to peddle as it begs Congress for a bailout worth billions.
