Ford Motor Company has built an extremely wide variety of vehicles since its start in 1903 so it was pretty hard to compile a list of the 10 best Ford vehicles. Some of these vehicles you definitely won’t see while visiting your Cincinnati Ford Dealer because well, they aren’t manufactured. The best is judged upon if the vehicles earned a real advance in terms of engineering, design, capability, or acceptance.

1. We start off with the Model-T. It was produced from 1908 to 1927 and more than 16,500,000 were sold. Ford made it America’s first affordable car and opened the country for travel.

2. The Model A which was introduced in 1927 became very popular and was sold in a great number of body styles for a price that was between $385 – $570 and whose top speed was around 60 mph and the fuel economy was about 40 mpg.

3. The Thunderbird came about in 1955 as a response to the Corvette. This still remains a great classic since it was one of the first sporty personal luxury cars.

4. Ford shocked the sports-car world in 1966 by racing in the Le Mans with a GT40 which broke Ferrari’s string of championships. Eventually Cincinnati Ford Dealers began selling street-able versions of it.

5. In the ’60s the fierce Shelby Cobras were born. Ford definitely can take credit for the engine and drive-train of one of the world’s best sports cars.

6. After quite a few years the 1992 Taurus SHO emerged. A former owner said, “It’s great, police don’t notice, insurance and taxes are almost nothing!”

7. The 2010 Fusion Hybrid. This vehicle has won all kinds of awards because it has responsive handling, it’s fun to drive, and is available in a lot of configurations.  This car is a state of the art hybrid and it’s reasonably price and has pretty good fuel economy.

8. The 2010 F-150, F-150s have been traversing the roadways since 1975 and is pretty much the best-loved truck in America. There is a lot of competition but Ford seems to outdo its rivals in most departments. Since 1948, the F-Series has sold over 30,000,000 vehicles which makes it the second-biggest seller of all time, Corolla being the first.

9. The 2011 Ford Mustang is a real improvement. Now with much better handling and performance, the 2011 offers new powertrains to keep its competitors hopping. The GT version is even hotter.

and finally…

10. The 2011 Ford Fiesta, this vehicle has outsold the VW Golf and has become the best-selling car in Europe. And there’s a few simple reasons for that too. It’s a very good small car now in its sixth generation, it performs well, comes in a variety of configurations, starts at just $13,320, and is coming to take over the U.S. this summer.

There is not another hybrid drivetrain in the world that does that as effectively. The Fusion engineering team really knocked it out of the park.” You can find one of your own Fusions at a loyal Ford dealer.

This new car to be released this year will get you an amazing 1400 miles on one tank of gas. That’s almost 81.5 miles to the gallon. This car was recently put to the test by Carl Edwards, a former NASCAR star, who drove the car well over a thousand miles.

The Ford web site states a few simple techniques that can help any driver improve their fuel economy. Some of these bits of advice include: accelerating smoothly up to the speed limit, coasting up to stop signs, minimizing the use of vehicle systems, and keeping the windows closed as much as possible to reduce drag.

Carl Edwards and his team used some of these techniques when putting the new Ford Fusion 2010 through the one thousand miles challenge. They drove continuously for 48 hours, and rotated drivers through the night.

The 2010 model won Motor Trend Car of the Year. Production on the first Fusions began on August 1, 2005. The Fusion replaced the Mondeo for the Latin American markets—except in Argentina (where the current European Mondeo is available) and in the United States and Canada (where it superseded the mid-size Taurus, which was being phased out).

The Fusion was the first production car to feature the “new face of Ford” three-bar grille, which (along with two matching bars below the bumper/fascia forming a five-bar design) was first seen on a retro V-10 powered rear wheel drive concept car called the Ford 427, unveiled in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The look has since been used on most of Ford’s product line.

The 2010 Motor Trend Car of the Year, the Ford Fusion is no longer just viable competition for the imports.  It’s now one of the best mid-size family cars.  Substantially improved for 2010, it now boasts one of the most upscale interiors in the affordable mid-size class, a more powerful lineup of engines, and available all-wheel drive – something few competitors can claim.

Since its release it has won quite a few awards. In July of 2006, Strategic Vision gave the Fusion its Total Quality Award as the best quality mid-size sedan on the American market. In March 2006 the International Carwash Association named the Fusion America’s “Most Washable Car.” In November 2009, the 2010 Ford Fusion line-up was selected as the 2010 Motor Trend Car of the Year, beating a field of nearly two dozen contenders. In December 2009 Car and Driver magazine listed the 2010 Fusion Hybrid as one of the “10 Best Cars”. The piece stated that the Fusion Hybrid was the most advanced of all the cars they tested. In January 2010 the Fusion Hybrid won the 2010 North American Car of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show, and was named “Best of 2010″ by Cars.com

So all in all, the Ford Fusion is probably one of the best mid-sized vehicles around, it even comes in a hybrid version.

Driving the Cincinnati Ford Dealers and the Tarboro Ford Dealer to keep up with this fast selling car.

The better model of the Ford Fusion is of course, the sport.  Its was stamped with the 263 Horsepower, 3.5 L Duratec, joined with a Select Shift six speed automatic.  This transmission is full manual control and super tuned suspension.  The dual exhausts, front and rear fascia treatments, rocker panels and the rear wing.  This Sport does have the same EPA rating as the 3.0L although it does not have the flex fuel engine.  This option is awesome for the consumers that need a family car but want something with a little spunk.

The fuel economy on the standard is 23 city/34 highway, now the Hybrid is an awesome 41 city/36 highway and the sport model is 18 city/27 highway.  Now either model has a reasonable fuel economy, being the Hybrid is the best, but even the sport model has fuel economy in mind.  Either choice on this Fusion, its not going to put a dent into your wallet.

After ranking #4 in affordable midsized cars out of 23 out of U.S. News reviews, it is easily assumed that this car has cleared its own path among the Ford consumers.

Of course what Ford consumer wouldn’t want to take a look at special Ford Fusion deals after they take a look under the hood of one and see the three different choices of engine power, and test drove it feeling the crisp handling abilities. With an available all-wheel-drive, above-average interior followed by wonderful SYNC options and infotainment to keep all the passengers entertained what is to not love about this car?

Based on reviews, the answer to that question would be the electric power steering on Ford Fusion non-sport models.

However, if you can get past the tricky power-steering, overall this car is not that bad of a buy. With a price ranging anywhere from $19,708-$27,939 the Ford Fusion may just be a better buy then the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, and the sales figures that show that the Ford Fusion has been one of the fastest selling-cars since early summer may just contribute to this theory.

So don’t wait on all of them to be bought out before you finally decide to check out a 2010 Ford Fusion, go look at one today!
