The All-New 2006 Ford Fusion

The 2006 Ford Fusion is said to be a new face of Ford vehicles, taking over the [link=http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/taurus/ ]Ford Taurus[/link] position in the auto market. With its combined style, attitude, performance and economy, the 2006 Ford Fusion bridges the gap between the smaller sedans such as the Ford Focus and the larger sedans like the Ford Hundred sedan. Priced just around $18,000, Ford Fusion finds an immediate market among modern and sophisticated middle class buyers.
