There's no mistaking its brash chrome-barred grille as anything but pure Detroit--even while it’s downsized and hybridized four-cylinder engine turns in faultless city fuel economy on a par with Honda's hybrids.

Even the lower-trim Fusion models are smooth and quiet. The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid delivers the highest EPA mileage ratings of any midsize car: 41/36 mpg City/Highway. All-wheel drive is available for the Fusion, a rarity among midsize sedans.

The Ford Fusion fits a range of budgets. For $23,000, the four-cylinder Fusion offers six-speaker audio, all the power accessories, Sync and a sport-suspension upgrade. High-trim Fusions offer excellent, high-power Sony Audio, a sumptuous leather interior package, advanced electronic systems like blind-spot warning and one of the easiest-operating navigation systems anywhere. Fusion comfortably seats five. With the 6-speed manual the Fusion is almost a sports sedan.
