Porter Ford, your Newark Ford Car dealer, is proud that Motor Trend has declared the Ford Fusion as the 2010 Car of the Year. This year is the 60th anniversary for the Motor Trend award - the longest standing editorial automotive award, and therefore Porter Ford is proud that the Ford Fusion edged out 22 other vehicles and gained the top spot during this anniversary year.

The 2010 Ford Fusion is a premium sedan that ranges from the efficient, entry-level model with a four cylinder engine and six speed manual transmission; to a high-end, highly fuel - efficient hybrid; and finishes with the sporty 3.5 liter V6 2010 Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive. Apart from a host of standard features, the vehicle also does very well on safety aspects. In today's economic situation, customers prefer vehicles that give great value for the money and Ford cars have always accommodated this particular demand. The basic Fusion S is priced at just $20,345 and is surprisingly well equipped for the price segment. The price steadily rises depending on which of the four other model versions as well as optional packages chosen by the customer. The top-of-the-line Fusion Sport AWD, at $33,525, is the most well-equipped of the Fusion lineup.

The Ford Fusion's wholesome persona comprised of performance, comfort, fuel efficiency and technology was able to impress the panel of judges and side-step serious contenders like the BMW 7 series, Honda Insight, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Kia Forte, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Nissan Cube and even its own siblings, the Ford Mustang and Ford Taurus.
