Motor Trend Car Of The Year: 2010 Ford Fusion
The newly-refreshed 2010 Ford Fusion was just named MotorTrend's Car Of The Year for 2010. Not a bad choice in our opinion as Ford's got the most money to spend on marketing. Also, the car's damn good. -

2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKZ: Design, Dissected
In case you may have missed it back in 2006, Ford released a trio of entries into the uber-boring mid-size sedan category. The just-right-sized triplets were built with the intention of targeting the best in the appliance segment. Alas, sales fell well short of the leaders of the pack — which is why you may not remember. Fast forward to this past week at the LA Auto Show, where Ford dropped cloth on three redesigns for the 2010 Ford Fusion, 2010 Mercury Milan and the 2010 Lincoln MKZ. While the new look on all three may be a “Bold Move™,” all three cars retain the old Mazda 6-derived CD3 platform. So our question is – are the changes more than skin deep? Let’s find out. More » -

2010 Ford Fusion, Sport, Hybrid Revealed Live
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 » -

2010 Ford Fusion Revealed With New Face, Engine And Six-Speed Transmission
Ford has officially released a photo of the 2010 Ford Fusion, as well as a slew of details about the new Gillette-bladed mid-size. The new Fusion will be getting a new Duratec 2.5-liter I-4 that will produce 175 HP, a revised version of the 3.0-liter V6 with 19 more horses and a Fusion Sport model (pictured above) with a 3.5-liter V6 that's good for 263 HP. All engines will be mated to a new six-speed automatic transmission that will help the new Fusion achieve higher mileage. As we learned earlier today, there will also be the super green 2010 Ford Fusion with the new SmartGauge LCD instrument panel. Click here for a hi-res photo of the super Dave 2010 Fusion.

2010 Ford Fusion: Shiny, Happy Mid-Size Sedan
You ever seen "A Christmas Story?" Remember the end of the movie? You know, at the Chinese restaurant — the duck? Yeah, I kind of feel like the 2010 Ford Fusion may be making a similar facial expression, at least according to these new spy photos of a new mule shot by the boys at KGP. What the photos also show is how Ford's trying to breathe some life into their current fascia-blanco Gillette-looking lineup with a little bit of the "kinetic" look they're trying elsewhere the Ford brand is sold. We actually kind of like it — especially that new character line running along the front bumper. It's much more of a "Bold Move" than what we were expecting out of the 2009 Ford Fusion. We'll also be interested to see what the new headlights will look like. Yeah, that bold smiling grinnin' grille's going to necessitate a movement of the headlights up and over to accommodate. All we know is that this is starting to get interesting. Full spy report from KGP after the jump. More »
