2010 Motor Trend Car of the Year

[VacMan]

I've had a couple of new Fusions for rentals. They kill everything else in the class, IMO. I'm not surprised it got the COTY, since MT bases it on relevance in the marketplace more than performance or anything else.

ok so it qualifies as coty for fleet cars ;)

Fusion

Don't knock it.
They're really good cars. Fit and finish and quality have been much improved.

I have a 2007 with the 2.4L 4 cyl and 5spd manual, all black, with the aforementioned big chrome grill. Decent power for this type of car, good gas mileage, very comfortable and capable on trips or around town.

Drive one before judging.
For our crowd on here, though, probably better to drive one of the V6 models, but they're only avail. in automatic as far as I know.

Good job Ford for actually working on improving their lineup all around unlike Chrysler and to a lesser extent GM.

Ford Focus RS

Want an economical midsize sedan that doesn't cost much, yet won't bore you to tears?
Need to please your greener side with a high-tech hybrid? Fancy a near-sport sedan with
AWD, 18-inch rolling stock, and the latest infotainment and electronics?
Depending on which model you choose and how many option boxes you tick, the Fusion
can be any of the above.
