Ford Fusion: A brand-new model in 2006, the 5-passenger midsize Fusion sedan offers consumers the choice between front- and all-wheel drive (FWD and AWD), and 4- or 6-cylinder power. Replacing the previous-generation Taurus in the Ford lineup, the Fusion offers a more youthful and sportier alternative to the competition. New for 2008 is the Sport Appearance package, which adds upgraded suspension, 18-inch wheels, and minor cosmetic changes. In the 2007 IQS, the Ford Fusion ranked among the top three models in its segment, boasting a low number of manufacturing and design defects during the first 90 days of ownership. In standard trim (front-wheel drive, 4-cylinder engine), the EPA fuel-economy estimates for the Fusion are 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway. After the Fusion was updated with standard side and side curtain air bags for 2007, Ford added standard tire-pressure monitoring, standard anti-lock brakes (ABS), and voice activation to the optional navigation system for the 2008 model year.
