Saw this on Motorweek.
Maybe I just happen to be directly in the target demo, but I am wondering how in the world Ford will ever keep any of these things on the lot.
I am traditionally a Toyota/German fan, and I have some criticisms of the '13 Fusion, but with gas prices likely never going down again, 47city/47hwy in an attractive, family sized sedan for about $28k is going to be too good to pass up. It matches up extremely well with the Camry Hyrbid. In fact, the only serious contender I can think of is the Passat TDI, just because it's nicer looking (overall, though I hate the current VW grill).
I really like the new Altima refresh, but I dont think their hyrbid (which is bought from Toyota IIRC) is anywhere near as efficient, if it's even ready.
