Ford Fusion Team Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 First Drive: 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid While General Motors and Chrysler basically turned out the lights on their presence at the LA Auto Show last month, Ford kicked off one of its biggest product onslaughts in decades. The 2010 Mustang may have captured the hearts of enthusiasts, but the heavily refreshed Fusion and its Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ siblings are the mainstream high volume models that will garner the big sales numbers. The Fusion lineup was expanded in both the performance and efficiency directions with new Sport and Hybrid variants. When we returned to Los Angeles this week to drive the Fusions, the festivities opened up with an afternoon spent getting a flavor for Ford's newest hybrid. We've already written extensively about the updated hybrid powertrain, but this was our first time behind the wheel. Following a briefing on the key features from the Ford engineering team, fellow Autoblogger Drew Phillips and I were joined by Gil Portalatin, Hybrid Applications Manager, for our test drive. Read all about how we achieved 43.1 mpg after the jump. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
