Cars: Ford

As its name might suggests, the Fusion is Ford Motor Company's car for all seasons. This mid-sized, four-door sedan emerged from Ford's Sonora, Mexico, plant in late 2005. Since then it has steadily been updated, most recently with an optional gas/electric hybrid power train. Sales are strong, with nearly 150,000 sold in each of the past three years.
