Inspired by Legendary Muscle Sedans
Fusion is Ford’s entry into the midsize sedan market.
Inspired by the Ford 427 concept car (itself a tribute to the
company’s landmark 1960s muscle sedans), Fusion is based on
Ford’s CD3 (Mazda 6) architecture. Fusion has a bold exterior,
remarkable driving dynamics, good fuel economy, advanced
safety and plenty of interior room. All are combined with serious
attention to value and the environment.
Early results show that almost 40 percent
(1)
of Fusion customers
come from competitive vehicles — such as Toyota Camry, Honda
Accord and Civic, Volkswagen Passat and Nissan Altima. Fusion
customers might also move up from Focus or move over from
Mustang. Some may even be previous Taurus owners.
Strong Market Position
Fusion brings personality and attitude to the midsize sedan.
Before Fusion, the midsize sedan market was dominated
by look-alikes with conservative design and lackluster
performance. Now, Fusion makes a clean break.
Three selling points include how Fusion:
• Looks — standout styling
• Moves — dynamic driving
• Feels — serious substance
Fusion will never be mistaken for anything else. It redefines
the midsize sedan. It is a car people buy because they
want to, not because they have to.

• Satellite radio and DVD Navigation System
