Ford Fusion
Jeep Previews 2014 Cherokee With Radical Design
The twin grilles, with the traditional seven-slat up top and the gaping maw along the bottom is just odd. It looks like a meth-addled piranha. One of the more interesting styling cues we see is the way the top half of the upper grille curves along with the hood, giving the Cherokee a sleeker, more aerodynamic look than previous Jeeps. That part we like.
Rumors: Spy Shots—2015 Ford Mustang Scooped
Ford Mustang fans have had much to celebrate over the past few years. Models like the Mustang Boss 302 and the 2013 Shelby GT500 have not only elevated the entire Mustang brand to new heights, but also breathed new life into the American muscle car wars.

Driven: 2013 Ford Fusion
Understandably, the first thing we were stricken by upon being reunited with the new Ford Fusion was the same thing that caught our attention when it was first unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show: its outward appearance. The new grille gives the car a much more upscale vibe. It looks somewhat muscular, and the creases in the hood and character lines that run along the sides help give it this image. It definitely has a bit more flair than the outgoing model, yet it doesn’t seem overstated.
Quick Drive: 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Sometimes, hybrids can feel a bit delicate. That is not the case with the new Fusion Hybrid, which feels very solid and much like a regular sedan, rather than a fragile piece of new technology. This goes from fit and finish, to ride quality, to the way the controls feel when you use them. It’s all good, sturdy, American stuff—the kind of car quality we’re now used to from the Blue Oval.
Driven: 2013 Ford Escape
You can expect to hear a lot more about the Escape in the months to come, as Ford continues to build awareness for the name through advertisements, product placement, and the like. You may have already seen the NBC program, Escape Routes, wherein teams compete in various challenges to win prizes and a 2013 Ford Escape. If not, don’t worry, Ford has you in its sights, and it thinks its new compact crossover is worthy of your attention. Here’s why.
First Look: 2013 Lincoln MKZ
