Well this is two years in a row, and Subaru is Number #1. Here is the article right from the motor trend website.
“For the first time since any of us can recall, an automaker has claimed the Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year title two years in a row. Last fall, deftly balancing efficiency and size, the all-new 2009 Subaru Forester went home with the Golden Calipers trophy. For 2010, fighting off several tough adversaries — and undoubtedly some unspoken but very real bias among our judges against repeat winners — Subaru’s new, fourth-generation Outback scored a decisive 10-1 victory in the final voting.Some vehicles arrive at our annual “Of the Year” competitions (car, sport/utility, truck) staking early claims to a win via bulging engine muscle, beguiling gizmos, fashion-runway sheetmetal. The Outback isn’t one of those. In fact, it slipped nearly unnoticed through our early walkarounds; the pre-drives chatter seemed to focus elsewhere — the ZDX’s spaceship lines, the Q5′s comparison test-winning moves, the Lincoln’s mighty yet efficient EcoBoost V-6. But then, one by one, our test drivers took the Outback into the field. And the buzz began to shift. Once again, it seemed, Subaru was successfully reshaping the very definition of “sport/utility vehicle” — melding the multi-mission prowess of true SUVs with the driving refinement, fuel-frugality, and easy access of wagons and sedans. Once again, our judges began taking extra notes.
