'Grease' - 1948 Ford Deluxe

The 1971 stage musical "Grease" got a big-screen adaptation in 1978, starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John and the late Jeff Conaway as Kenickie. The story of lovers at a 1950s high school was a monster hit, thanks in part to songs like "Summer Nights" and "Greased Lightnin'."

The "Greased Lightnin'" sequence featured Travolta and Conaway dancing on a dilapidated 1948 Ford Deluxe that turns into an "automatic, systematic, hydromatic" dream machine by the song's end. According to Karl Brauer of TotalCarScore.com, this car ranges in price from $10,000 to $50,000, depending on its condition.

'American Graffiti' - 1932 Ford Model B Deuce Coupe

Four years before George Lucas made "Star Wars," his low-budget "American Graffiti" depicted the cars and cruising culture of California teenagers. The 1973 film features such classic cars as a 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1958 Chevy Impala, but the most memorable is a yellow 1932 Ford Model B Deuce Coupe.

According to the fan site AmericanGraffiti.net, the filmmakers originally tried to sell the car after production wrapped but couldn't find a buyer willing to pay the asking price of $1,500. Today it's owned by car collector Rick Figari, a San Francisco resident.

'Bullitt' - 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390

The 1968 action movie "Bullitt" starred Steve McQueen as a San Francisco cop. Its most famous sequence was a 10-minute car chase jam-packed with shots of his 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 negotiating the city's treacherous hills at high speed, becoming airborne several times.

One of the things best remembered about the chase is the car itself. It has remained so enduring that the Ford Motor Company produced a limited edition GT with the "Bullitt" nameplate in 2001, and again in 2008.

The new Ford Fiesta subcompact ranked highest in its category. The Mazda2 and Fit had the second- and third-highest scores. Differences in scores may not always be statistically significant, J.D. Power said.

Family Hauler - Ford Flex Ltd (with EcoBoost)

Price: $29,200 - $45,310
Mileage: 17 City / 24 Hwy

The Flex scored very well in this category, said Consumer Reports' Jake Fisher.

America's Best Cars 06 Small SUV - Ford Escape

Price: $21,215 - $27,685
Mileage: 23 City / 28 Hwy

Small SUVs are another tough category full of new entries. The Escape -- which hasn't had a major redesign in many years -- was not among the top overall scorers, said Consumer Reports' Jake Fisher.

Engines are a particular issue. The Escape's four-cylinder engine is noisy, Fisher said, and the V6 is thirstier than its competitors.

The Escape does win points though, for its overall functionality and high crash-test scores. The Hybrid also scored higher.

Mileage: 22 City / 29 Hwy

The Fusion is a really good car in a really tough market segment, notes Jake Fisher of Consumer Reports.

"It's a high-scoring vehicle," he said of the Fusion, which he called "a very enjoyable car to drive."

However, Fisher says that fuel economy is an issue. The Fusion lags its main Japanese competitors by a couple miles per gallon.

Mileage: 28 City / 37 Hwy

The Fiesta came close to taking the overall Top Pick in this category, according to Consumer Reports' Jake Fisher. It's fun to drive and easy on gas. But it lost out to the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa -- the only two cars to score better -- because of its cramped back seat.

Car testers at Consumer Reports magazine rate these Detroit-brand cars, SUVs and trucks as America's Best for multiple reasons.

Green Car - Ford Fusion Hybrid

Price: $28,340

The Toyota Prius was Consumer Reports' Top Pick in this category, but the Fusion Hybrid actually outscored it in the magazine's testing.

The Mustang GT's throaty V8 provides plenty of punch, Consumer Reports says, while delivering surprisingly good fuel economy. A new V6 engine in non-GT models also delivers good performance and even better fuel economy, especially when combined with a manual transmission.
