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 Honda Hybrid Up Close, Wearing Ford's "Dave" Smile
Honda seems to be lifting design cues directly from Ford on its new Honda hybrid — you know, the one definitely not named Insight. We thought that grille looked familiar when we first saw it a few weeks ago, but this up close and personal image confirms it — Honda, meet Dave... Dave, Honda. Hope you two can get along after the cease-and-desists start rolling in. More »
