Ford is delaying the release of fuel-economy numbers on the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid in order to trick us into writing about it twice. We're not fooled: It's essentially a badge-engineered Ford Fusion Hybrid, so it'll probably get 39 mpg combined. More »

Over last week's LA Auto Show, we saw plenty of new models throw their hats into the bloodied arena that is the current automotive market. So put on some R.E.M. and follow us on a jog down flashback lane as we relive all of the fond old memories we've fostered together this past week.

Man, those were the good old days. Hit the jump below before we start tearing up to catch the ten most popular reveals — as judged by your eyeballs — of the show. More »

We gave you all the details on the 2010 Ford Fusion, Fusion Sport, and 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid at the break of day and now we've got the live reveal from the floor of the LA Auto Show. The trio of Fusionistas made their debut moments ago to bombastic loads of PR praise. If the improvements Ford is touting stand up to scrutiny, the Fusion stands to make some serious waves in the C/D sedan segment. We approve pretty solidly of the styling changes, the six speed manual and auto on the regular Fusion and the well thought out hybrid system on the twin powered model. More »

The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid shares all of the exterior, interior and refinement upgrades bestowed upon the 2010 Ford Fusion and builds on top of that solid foundation with an upgraded hybrid system, improved tuning and the slick new SmartGauge LCD screen. The Hybrid Fusion, along with the Mercury Milan Hybrid, is Ford's first foray into the hybrid sedan market and comes with timing that makes it seem like Ford's freakishly clairvoyant. Let's take a look at the things which make the the new Fusion hybrid tick, along with more pictures and all that Ford has to say below the jump. More »

The only stock cars to roll out at the Homestead-Miami Speedway’s NASCAR race this weekend will be the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2010 Ford Fusion Sport. They'll be the pace cars. They’ll also be, by far, the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the grid, with the Fusion Hybrid returning “at least” 38 MPG making it capable of traveling 700 miles on a tank. That means the Fusions will be the only vehicles present capable of finishing the 400-mile race without making a pit stop. The Sport — equipped with a 263 HP V6 — will take over from the Hybrid after the race kicks off. Both models are set for an official unveiling at next week’s LA Auto Show. The official press release follows the jump. More »

That newly unveiled 2010 Ford Fusion looks pretty slick and all, but today we got a chance to sit down in the Fusion Hybrid — complete with black and white jelly bean camouflage — and play around with the new twin-LCD SmartGauge display. We'll let Ford Researcher Jeff Greenberg, a Senior Technical Leader at Ford walk you through the features in the video above, but after spending a couple of minutes with it, what do we think? How about a quicky review on this new fangled tech to go along with a new-fangled Fusion? More »

Despite rumors to the contrary, it would appear the folks at Ford won't be revealing a hybrid version of the Ford Fusion at the LA Auto Show in two weeks. Our good buddy Igor's claiming not only will we not be seeing a hybridized Gilette-bladed Ford mid-size in LA, Ford is unsure when they'll be showing it off. Our best bet is the Fusion hybrid 'll end up in Detroit to maximize the bang for their PR buck via coordination with the mass of media attention that is the big show in D-town. [AutoSavant] More »
