Forbes names Maverick Car of the Year

djw479 · Dec 7, 2021

I've always thought of Forbes being more of a financial/business magazine/website, but I guess they have a Wheels section. Today they named the Maverick their "Car of the Year". I guess they include all types of vehicles in their "Car" sector when awarding this title. Article mentions other vehicles but circles back to the Mav as being the best.

Woo-hoo!!! Now if Ford would just build mine.

Anyways, here you go:

Looking forward to the day I can look in my garage and agree with them! Nice win Mav!

Nice.

Of course the full size truck guys will use this to say the Maverick isn't really a truck.

I look in my driveway and smile. Just an awesome vehicle!

And I'll counter that Frieghtliner guys say and F150 isn't really a truck

Just to put this in perspective, the Mustang II (you know, the Pinto derived Mustang) was Motor Trend's car of the year in 1974.

The first of many , on a recent trip from upstate NY to Fredericksburg VA my average was 33 mpg compared to the F350 super duty at 12 mpg do not miss the bigger truck not one bit and yes its a real truck not up for debate

Car awards are the kiss of death to the people who buy them down the road. After the model is selling well due to good press, the bean counters are looking for more ways to cheapen the product.

Example 1986 Ford Taurus -multiple COTY awards. 1987 Ford Taurus -decontented in many areas. They even removed the rear anti-roll bar. Accountants are everywhere.

My non-existent Maverick is car of the year. Wonderful! I'll be sure and hug the darn thing if it ever get built and shows up at my dealership.

I always thought Forbes was pay to play...their reviews read like an infomercial to me. But whatever, I guess it's good but it don't get me my hybrid any faster.

I had a Mustang II (POS) and have my Maverick now. I believe the Maverick is better!
