The new Fusion will be available with both a regular hybrid verison and a plug-in hybrid that is expected to get over 100 miles per gallon equivalent MPGe. But what does MPGe mean? Maybe this graphic helps http://fordfusionstory.com/photo-galleries/mpge/?return_url=http://fordfusionstory.com/mpg/

Ever since the original Ford Mondeo debuted in Europe in the mid-1990s, it's been highly regarded for its ride and handling qualities. The 2013 Fusion for North America now shares its underpinnings with the Mondeo and engineer Crissy Rodriguez helped fine tune its driving dynamics.

Another hour, another NAIAS embargo-break
This time it's the Volkswagen e-Bugster.
It's a chopped Beetle with the same battery electric powertrain that will be coming to the Golf and Jetta in the next couple of years. Interestingly, VW seems to be following the same generally electrification philosophy as Ford. Instead of designing dedicated hybrids and EVs like Toyota or Nissan, VW and Ford) are engineering their new platforms to accommodate a variety of powertrains including gas, diesel hybrid, PHEV and BEV. Clearly prepared if battery costs come down but hedging on the probability that internal combustion will remain dominant for the foreseeable future.
We live in interesting times

What may well be the first really legitimate American challenger to the BMW 3 Series… 5
What may well be the first really legitimate American challenger to the BMW 3 Series has been exposed a few hours ahead of its official reveal this evening. At just 3,400 pounds, it is admirably svelte and it will be very interesting to watch how it actually performs on the road.

The old Chinese proverb/curse about living in interesting times has certainly played itself out here in Detroit over the last several years with the emphasis on the curse side.
Thankfully, we're seeing light in the tunnel these days and things are looking up from a product perspective. With the official opening of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show less than 48 hours away things are looking very interesting again in a really good way.
Unofficially, Cadillac will kick off the festivities on Sunday night with a reveal of the new ATS sports sedan that will be streamed live http://www.livestream.com/badertv
On Monday morning the focus shifts across town to Ford when it reveals the all-new Fusion. Check that out here at http://FordFusionStory.com.
