Nov. 17, 2010- Ford Motor Co.'s Fusion mid-size sedan was named Motor Trend magazine's 2010 "car of the year," adding to the perception that changes to the No. 2 U.S. Automaker's vehicle lineup are gaining traction.

The Fusion was chosen best of 23 new or significantly upgraded vehicles that were eligible for the award after a week of testing, Motor Trend said.

The magazine said the full range of Fusion models was impressive to the judges, from the four-cylinder entry level vehicles to the all-wheel drive sport and hybrid versions.

The Fusion, which has become one of the top 10 selling vehicles in the United States and was redesigned for 2010, exceeded its previous annual sales peak earlier in November.  The car was launched initially by Ford in 2006.

Ford posted a nearly $1 billion third-quarter profit that surprised Wall Street analysits this month and it the only large U.S. automaker not to reorganize in bankruptcy with U.S. government support in 2009.
