2010 Ford Fusion Breaks Into Top 10

The 2010 Ford Fusion is now one of the top 10 selling vehicles in the US and the Number 1 selling domestic car according to Ford. Half of those buying the Fusion are opting for high series models, including the Fusion Hybrid, Sport and SEL.

Ford reports they have already sold 151,137 units, beating out the full year sales high of 149,552 in 2007. That also puts them at 15 percent higher than they were a year ago.

"There is no reason for customers shopping for a midsize sedan to look beyond the Fusion, because the lineup offers something for everyone - a Hybrid model, a Sport version and a new selection of gas-powered engines paired with six-speed transmission," Fusion Marketing Manager Jonathan Richards said in a statement.

Fusion Hybrid sales are making up almost 20 percent of all Fusion retail sales. And more than 60 percent of Fusion Hybrid sales have to been to customers switching from import brands, like Toyota and Honda.

The Fusion Hybrid gets 41 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, making it one of the most fuel efficient cars on the road.

According to early 2010 survey data obtained in the 2009 U.S. Global Quality Research System (GQRS), the 2010 Fusion Hybrid has the highest customer satisfaction ratings of any Ford vehicle ever. The survey was conducted for Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) by RDA Group of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
