2013 Ford Fusion and the Detroit Auto Show

Car lovers only have one place to be for the next few weeks: Motor City and the Detroit Auto Show.

The two-week show will unveil over 40 new models, giving car manufacturers a chance to lure over 750,000 participants with design, music, and bright lights.

Ford is looking to wow crowds with its brand new Fusion, which will come in plug-in and hybrid models and feature an alert system to let drivers know when they veer in to other lanes.

The Fusion outsold the Honda Accord in 2011, but Ford hopes its refreshed Fusion can beat sales of the top-selling mid-sized sedan, the Toyota Camry.

Whatever the consumer response, auto makers do have reason to celebrate: Gas prices have declined since summer and car-sale numbers are at their highest since 2008.

Technically that is a ford grille because ford owned aston when they designed it

[Saykey20111]

Good design but it does not change the fact that Honda has the best engine. I wait for 2013 honda acc. It looks a lot nicer.

@jk2626261

Ford not only owned Aston, a Ford employee since the 70's, Ian McCallum, oversaw two PAG brands (Aston and Jaguar) while at Ford, and designed the Db9, Db7, Vantage, and Vanquish. That grill has classic roots from the Db2-Db6, but that shape could have been re-interpreted in many ways. Callum made Astons sexy, and continues this for Tata with Jaguar.

I own a 2011 fusion. And love it.

The new one looks even better.

Looks like the front end of an aston martin

@k4n3n1 that doesn't matter. two different calls should have two different designs. if they can't come up with a different grille, then they need to hire a new engineering team.

@k4n3n1 No, sorry, the Camaro is built in Oshawa, Ontario. Maybe a speical engine or two is brought in from the States, but that's it. The original poster is trying to say that the Camaro is the most American of cars and other American cars aren't American because they aren't built in the US. By HIS standard, the Camaro isn't an American car.

Got it, Mr. Uptight?

[k4n3n1]

@MaestroTJS what are you talking about, i build camaro's in detroit, you cock, so what if there are camaro's being build in canada is still american. theres VW being build in mexico, but you wouldn't call them mexican, just like i wouldn't call the chevy camaro canadian caus its not, it's still american, pethetic canadian, only think you canadians make thats pure canadian is syrup and bacon...XD.

[k4n3n1]

@RedSkyNord no ford technically still own the design rights of the aston martin, because they designed the look when they own aston.

[k4n3n1]

@ajsm83 no still ford design.
