    Electric Car Tesla Gets Named Motor Trend Car of the Year

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Motor Trend magazine has named the Tesla Model S its Car of the Year. The magazine's staff selected the all-electric plug-in luxury car out of a field of 11 finalists that included models such as the Ford Fusion, Porsche 911 and Hyundai Azera.

    It is the first time the magazine's Car of the Year award has ever gone to an all-electric car.

    Just being electric wasn't enough to earn the Model S the prize, though.

    Ed Loh, Motor Trend's editor-in-chief on Monday said that, with eleven finalists, it was a strong field this year. But in the end there was no question about who the winner was. "The vehicles that placed second and third didn't get more than three votes. But it was a unanimous decision for the Tesla Model S."
