Consumer Reports says Ford's Fusion Hybrid is equal to Toyota Camry, only sportier
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/04/i...s-equal-to-to/
Ford's new 2010 Fusion Hybrid has earned plenty of accolades since it debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and the latest praise comes from Consumer Reports. In its most recent round of testing, the entire Fusion lineup did well, but CR singled out the hybrid model and declared it "essentially tied" with long-time favorite, the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Fusion racked up 34 mpg, beating out the Kia Optima in a test of mid-size family sedans.
Compared to the Camry, CR agreed with most other reviewers that the Fusion felt sportier:
"The new Fusions are very impressive especially the Hybrid," said David Champion, senior director of CR's Auto Test Center. "The Hybrid successfully blends excellent fuel economy with driving pleasure, something all other hybrids have failed to do."
Although we've disagreed with some of Consumer Reports' previous assessments, this is one case where we're of the same mind. Check out the official press release after the jump for more of CR's thoughts.

I can tell you the Fusion I had the week I was in Pittsburgh was excellent is every single way save perhaps power (which coming by way of a daily LS1 F-body driver, is probably already twisted).
Every single praise you hear about the Ford Fusion is fully earned.
