Ford has just announced pricing on its 2010 Fusion Hybrid which is expected to go on sale in 2009.

The vehicle uses a 155 hp 2.5 L engine running on the Atkinson Cycle and married to a parallel electric motor capable of propelling the car at speeds up to 47 mph.

It also features a SmartGuage unique instrument cluster that provides feedback called EcoGuide telling users how they can maximize their fuel efficiency as they drive.

Because of its higher speed electric only driving, Ford says “Under the right conditions, you can drive in your neighborhood or mall parking lots without using a drop of gasoline.” 39 mpg is expected in city driving conditions.

    I just hope this is not to little to late for Ford. I really hope they use their hybrid technology for more vehicles like the Edge.

    Personally, I had high hopes for this car when it was first announced. Getting 5-6 MPG better than the Camry sounded like it was a winner too.
    Too bad you can get a regular Fusion day in and day out at around $18-$19K
    (or even cheaper if you wait a week or two for Ford's perpetual 'everything is on sale' sales)
    You just can't charge a 10K premium for a hybrid.
    Sidenote: EPA puts the cost to gas up a regular 2009 Fusion for 1 year @$1,351, so thats 7.5 years of free gas if you DON'T get the hybrid. With the 65%-ish improvement in fuel economy over the current model, a break even date would come around 12 years. Yippee, 12 years of driving a Fusion to break even...sign me up, lol.
