2013 Ford Fusion Named Best in Show in Detroit

The new Ford Fusion has yet to reach a single customer, but it has already impressed enough to score an award - Best in Show at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This was judged based on a single factor, which is the most notable car that will be remembered five years from now.

“It’s very rare for a midsize sedan to win Best in Show,” said editor Wes Raynal of AutoWeek, who gave the award. “I think it’s the first of a lot of awards the Fusion is going to win this year.”

“I’ve been with the company for 13 years,” said J Mays, Ford chief creative officer, “and I can truly say this is the best car ever to come out of the design and engineering center in Dearborn. We are delighted for the entire global design team, because this really was a global effort.”

We’ll remind you that the Fusion is built under the “One Ford” directive as a global product, and so it will also be marketed in other markets around the world, including Europe where it will become the next Mondeo.
