2009 Best Redesigned Vehicle

Few products reflect the accelerating pace of change more than the automobile. Whereas many of yesterday's new models were not much more than styling updates, today's redesigns are more often leaps and bounds ahead of their predecessors in every way. Accordingly, it takes quite a product to take home Kelley Blue Book's Best Redesigned Vehicle award. In seeking the vehicle that best demonstrates improvement and superiority relative to its predecessor and competitors, we consider exterior and interior styling, technology, comfort and convenience features, performance/capability, driving dynamics, safety, fuel economy, overall refinement and, of course, value. Five years ago, the Ford F-150 won Kelley Blue Book's first Best Redesigned Vehicle award. This year, it becomes our first repeat winner.
