"The Best Family Sedan: the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid"

 

Excerpts:

 

Like an atom bomb giving the Bikini Atoll a quick lesson in physics, you can expect the Ford Fusion Hybrid to seriously rearrange the face of the family sedan marketplace. Why? Because this is, without hesitation or doubt, the best four door family sedan on the planet.

 

No matter what you compare it to, there’s simply no getting around it’s greatness. Throwing it up against the Prius and Insight is a bit of a no brainer; sure, both the dedicated hybrid models boast slightly better fuel economy, but that’s about it. As tested, the Fusion Hybrid carried a price tag of $34,449 dollars; the result of the addition of Ford’s $2,100 SYNC system. Comparably equipped, the Prius will set you back $36,565 (which still falls slightly shy of the Fusion’s spec level) while offering less space, less pace, and less comfort. Meanwhile Honda’s Insight definitely saves some coin with its top-rung EX model carrying an MSRP of just $28,895, but does little to hide its Fit-based roots. Toss it up against its closest competitor, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and you’ll be dishing out $1,371 more dollars for a vehicle that gets worse real-world economy, offers less interior refinement, and can’t match the Fusion’s driving dynamics. Of course, all of that will take a back seat to the looks for most buyers: take a quick look at the Camry’s aging, bulbous sheetmetal and the Fusion’s taut and stylish lines look more and more appealing by the minute.

I agree, the Insight & Prius is a poor comparison and the Camry hasn't had a major makeover for a few years now ...
