drove a Fusion Hybrid today. It's fantastic. Very big and roomy, seats are comfortable, the steering wheel has all the controls, the steering feel is great, the view out the back is a little bad, and the side mirrors could use some convex lenses, but the car was quite peppy and even with the dealership guys hooning it around the dash readout still said 39mpg.

Ford Fusion wins 2013 Green Car Of The Year
After three years that saw a diesel, a plug-in and a natural gas vehicle win Green Car Journal's Green Car of the Year award, the Ford Fusion won the title this year at the start of the second day of the LA Auto Show. The Fusion was nominated in part because it has a variety of powertrain options: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and an EcoBoost gas engine.

Come on Ford, just when you get things rolling,
You kick your own rear end.
Everyone knows turbos create heat, you didn't think enough to insulate or give enough distance for protection.???
