The North American International Auto Show opened its doors to the press this week in Detroit, but there’s more to this year’s show than cars purely for the American market. In these days of ‘global cars’ foreign shows often provide glimpses of what’s in store for us. Like the new Ford Fusion for instance, which was revealed in Detroit this week.
And while the Ford Fusion will go on sale in America later this year, European customers will have to wait till 2013 for the new Ford Mondeo.
The new Fusion will also incorporate seven ‘essential’ new technologies, including a Lane Keeping System, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), adaptive cruise control, active park assist, and MyFord Touch®, the latest interactive vehicle operation system and in-car entertainment interface. Ford will also offer an automatic start/stop system and there’s talk of a 4WD version.
And for those who enjoy driving for its own sake, Ford have promised to deliver “a driver’s car” with specially tuned electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), MacPherson strut front suspension and an all-new premium-level multilink rear suspension.
